Packers vs Rams light box

In his Rams-Packers preview, Jared Dubin is excited to see how Aaron Rodgers fares against the Rams Secondary, which typically takes away deep passes:

“The second most interesting battle here is Packers head coach and play-caller Matt LaFleur against Rams defensive coordinator Brandon Staley. The Rams play more two-high safety looks pre-snap than any team in the league, and they almost always use a light box. Why? Because Staley believes the primary object of his defense should be to take away deep passes, and he's just fine inviting opponents to run the ball. The Rams finished the season ranked third in the NFL in rushing defense DVOA despite lining up with six or fewer players in the box on 67.6 percent of their snaps -- a rate far higher than the 45.7 percent league average, per Pro Football Focus and TruMedia.”
