And, of course, Green Bay tackle BJ Raji – who you may remember did this marvellous little dance after running in an intercept touchdown as the Packers won the Super Bowl in 2011.
The Packers have struggled mightily against the run this season and were torched for 409 yards in two contests against Adrian Peterson.
