Paying Running Backs is worth it when you utilize them as multidimensional weapons. LaFleur and Rodgers do that perfectly. You get every penny out of them that way.

Love that those defensive backs were completely beat on that play and then celebrated like they locked up the routes when they saw they got bailed out by the flag. The film the next day never lies- but on-field insecurities do.
