This isn't all that unusual, but it is another tweak employed against a back like Henry. The Titans have three WRs on the field, so the Packers want at least a nickel secondary (five DBs). Except instead of the fifth DB replacing a down lineman, as is more customary, he replaces an inside LB, so the defense can stay in a base five-man front (three DL, two OLBs). Once again, as in Play No. 4 above, it's Preston Smith setting the edge, and he also gets off the block to make the tackle.
Play No. 7: First-and-10 from the Green Bay 49, fourth quarter, 11:24 left
Result: 1-yard scramble by Tannehill
