Play action key for Packers

The Packers use of play-action will be a key factor in their matchup with the Rams on Saturday, say Sheil Kapadia and Ted Nguyen:

“The Packers’ use of play-action will be another key. Rodgers used play-action at the sixth-highest rate and carved defenses up, producing a league-best 0.41 Expected Points Added (EPA) per play on those throws, according to TruMedia and Pro Football Focus. This is one of the few areas in which the Rams were actually vulnerable. They ranked 14th (EPA per play) against play-action but were the league’s best passing defense when opponents didn’t use play-action.”
