    I watched Gary a lot and he played containment very well.

    Other posters said the Smith brothers played with similar discipline.

      I really think it was our lead and secondary or am I missing something?
      Packers played a lot of 6 man fronts to slow Henry down. Henry had 9 carries for 51 yards after the Packers had taken a 26-14 lead. At that point I suspect Packers were willing to let Henry have all the 5 yard runs he wanted as long as he didn't break a long one. Up until that point, Henry had averaged about 3 YPC.

      This shows some of the unusual fronts Packers were using. https://www.packers.com/news/what-yo...entional-looks
      I can't run no more
      With that lawless crowd
      While the killers in high places
      Say their prayers out loud
      But they've summoned, they've summoned up
      A thundercloud
      They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

        It was a matchup I was concerned about and they rose to the occasion.
        It was, as many have said, one of the most satisfying wins in a long time.

        Matt LeFleur thinks so, too:
