"We knew exactly what they were going to do in terms of they were going to ride (Cook)," Head Coach Matt LaFleur said. "We never put them in a situation where they had to drop back and throw the football – or at least not too many times.
"That's something that we better get it fixed, and we better get it fixed fast because I have a pretty good idea of what's going to happen on a short week on Thursday in San Francisco, as well."
The 49ers, who rushed for 285 yards against Green Bay in January's NFC title game, boast a top-10 rushing offense but have been banged up in the backfield this season.
Veterans Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson are on injured reserve with high-ankle sprains, Jerick McKinnon is battling leg fatigue and Tevin Coleman left Sunday's game against Seattle with a knee injury and didn't return.
Still, the Packers recognize they have a lot of work ahead of them – especially on a short week with no padded practices – to make the necessary corrections to bounce back in San Francisco.
"On the defensive side of the ball, we have similar run schemes coming up this week," Amos said. "We need to execute. We have to be focused all week.
"A lot of things are going to be mental because obviously on this short week we can't do too much banging around. We just need to get in our playbooks. We need to get in our films and we have to be better with our assignments."
