Green Bay Packers’ Eddie Lacy Makes Everyone Miss (Video)
By Phil Watson
The Green Bay Packers appear to be on their way to another blowout win at home, in part because Eddie Lacy is doing things like he did after taking a short pass.
Eddie Lacy of the Green Bay Packers did some things on a play Monday night against the Atlanta Falcons that a guy who weighs almost 250 pounds really shouldn’t be able to do.
Things like taking a short pass from Aaron Rodgers and making a bunch of people miss with a variety of cuts, slides and spins.
It looked like every Atlanta defender shy of Fulton Keykendall and Jessie Tuggle had a chance to tackle Lacy on the play, but couldn’t come up with the stop.
