BBAO: Packers to see three airports Friday - NFC North Blog - ESPN. It's a big travel day for the Green Bay Packers as they fly to D.C. to meet the President, and then turn around to fly back to Cleveland for their Saturday night preseason game against the Browns.

This post focuses on the running game, while my post from last Tuesday looked more at how it would change the pass rush. I'm not convinced NT B.J.
