Jordy Nelson is Ready for His Close-Up

Jordy Nelson is Ready for His Close-Up

Eddie Lacy channeled his inner Marshawn Lynch on a 32-yard TD run-and-catch against the Eagles.

With 14:52 to go in the fourth quarter, Lacy catches an outlet pass from Aaron Rodgers in the left flat.

He sees defenders down field . . .

. . . takes on safety Nate Allen at the 17-yard line. . .

. . . and slips through Allen’s grasp.

Near the 12, defensive end Vinny Curry tries his hand . . .

. . but the 230-pound Lacy spins free of the 280-pound Curry.

Lacy has his back to the goal but keeps the momentum going.

He rights himself as more Eagles defenders converge at the 5.

Lacy spins again into the pile . . .

. . . and with a little nudge from tight end Andrew Quarless, powers into the end zone.

The touchdown put the Packers up 46-13 on the way to a statement win. Lacy, in his second year out of Alabama, also had a 37-yard TD run.
