Packers Film Room: The Packers’ weak-side mid zone runs help combat ‘over’ defenses

Related Topics: A. J. Dillon, Green Bay Packers

Green Bay Packers running back A.J. Dillon finally found the end zone again on Sunday night in what I believe is actually the strength of the Packers offense in the running game. The Packers have favored getting their two running backs more carries recently due to Aaron Rodgers’ limitations due to injury. At the end of the night, the Packers’ running backs finished with 20 carries for 107 yards and one touchdown.

Dillon carried the load in the running game on Sunday night carrying the ball, eight times for 64 yards. He scored from 20 yards out on a staple run concept in the Packers offense: the mid zone.
