The Packers are going to face a bunch of good running backs and tight ends over the final six games, putting the spotlight directly on Martinez, who is playing for a new contract. It’s been an underwhelming 2019 season for the fourth-year linebacker in almost every aspect of playing his position, but he can re-write the narrative over the final month and a half. A lot is riding on his shoulders. Can the Packers be a championship defense without a big step from Martinez? Arguably no one on defense needs to improve coming out of the bye more than No. 50.
