It's alot to expect to cover the run game of these two teams, but I have faith. If we get Green Bay, I'm less worried, because I know we can beat them in a track meet, and their defense doesn't scare me nearly as much as the Titans or 49ers.

we just shut down a team's running game after they dropped 200 on us in week 6
this run defense is fixed
the fact that tannehill, rodgers and jimmy G are not even close to watson this year (maybe rodgers, but he isn't himself lately) helps even more
those teams aren't going to be running a lot of options or presenting the same running threat at the QB position
the thing that worries me most is san francisco's defense
they could legit shut down our offense if things go poorly in pass protection
