Packers RB Eddie Lacy held to 27 yards in Week 5 win over Rams

Packers running back Eddie Lacy rushed for 27 yards on 13 carries in Sunday's win over the Rams. He added an eight-yard reception.

Sunday was Lacy's second game this season where he has been held for fewer than 30 yards. Granted the games were against the vaunted defensive fronts of St. Louis and Seattle and he exited the Seattle game early, but Lacy had just three such games in his first two seasons combined. More disturbingly, after scoring 24 times in his first two seasons, Lacy has found the end zone just once in 2015. That trend should change as Lacy figures to get the bulk of Green Bay's runs near the goal line, but with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, the Packers have not been shy throwing the ball at close range.
