Briggs vs GB (1 Viewer)

[Footballg]

Briggs has been fairly disappointing for most of the year, but his biggest game was against GB earlier in the season -- think he had about 16 tackles.

Anyway, from a scheme point of view, is there any particular reason to expect a big game out of him again next week, or was that other game just a random fluke?

The Packers completed a high number of passes to backs and tight ends in that game (15), but Briggs also made a fair number of tackles in run support. I wouldn't say it's a fluke and it's a good matchup for him, but I don't think I'd expect another 10+ solo tackle game. Urlacher and Tillman have been a little better and McGowan has been a lot better.
