The odds certainly look to be stacked against the Green Bay Packers in the upcoming NFC Championship Game. They travel to Seattle to face a Seahawks club that is 25-2 at CenturyLink Field since drafting Russell Wilson in 2012. The Seahawks also can lay claim to having the best defense in the NFL, as that platoon led the league in a wide variety of per-game categories, including yards allowed (267.1), passing yards (185.6), first downs (17.3) and points allowed (15.9). Add in Aaron Rodgers' calf injury and the memory of a 36-16 loss at Seattle in Week 1, and it looks as though the Green and Gold don't have much of a chance in this contest. But a closer examination of the metrics and game tape reveals that Eddie Lacy and the Green Bay rushing attack give the Packers a possible path to success in this contest.
Run to win works against Seattle The Seahawks are 18-0 over the past two seasons when they hold an opposing team to fewer than 100 yards rushing; when opposing teams put up 100 or more yards on the ground, the Seahawks' record drops to 11-7. Some of this is certainly a matter of game-flow management
