Eddie Lacy slowed by asthma Packers RB missed time in 2nd quarter By: Mike Krueger | Jan 12 2015, 7:00 am
The only thing that can put Eddie Lacy on pause is the sub-freezing temperature of the Wisconsin outdoors that inflames his lungs.
But while an asthma attack sidelined him for a portion of the second quarter, the Green Bay Packers running back roared back and ended up with 101 yards on 19 carries against the respected Dallas run defense ranked No. 8 in the NFL this season.

FFToday's Take:James Starks played exclusively on a Packers' drive in the 2nd quarter while Lacy was struggling with his breathing. Lacy returned for a few plays before halftime then carried a normal workload in the 2nd half. He should be fine for Sunday's championship matchup with the Seahawks.
