It seems illogical to suggest that the Rams’ best chance of winning a game is by leaning on the thing they do worst, but that’s oddly true this week as they gear up to face the Packers in Green Bay. If the Rams are going to pull off the upset, they may need to feature the running game pretty heavily despite the team’s struggles in that department.
There are two reasons for that. First and foremost, the Packers have been atrocious against the run this season. According to Football Outsiders, the Packers rank last in rush defense DVOA. They’ve allowed the third-most rushing yards and the third-most yards per carry this season, struggling all year to stop opposing rushing attacks.
