No Daylight To Run To

When you have eight defenders against one running back, chances are that the offense will gain no ground. In this Milwaukee home game against Detroit, we can see the following Packer defenders making the stop: Jesse Whittenton (#47), Henry Jordan (#74), Dan Currie (#58), Lionel Aldridge (#62 — before he switched to his later #82), Willie Wood (#24), and Willie Davis (#87). The defending-champion Packers came out on top on this day, 31-10, in front of what appears to be 45,912 damp fans.
