The adjustment against the Bengals was to insert rookie Josh Jones in the lineup for Burnett in the Packers nickel package (Nitro) and move Burnett into the slot as the nickel corner.
Capers never got the credit he deserved for that change as Burnett shined inside, keeping the too-slow Rollins off the field and allowing Green Bay to save House and King for outside duty only.

To run this against such a talented offensive line means Capers believed Nick Perry could win 1-on-1 vs. Tyron Smith, something he did a number of times in this game. And they trust Ahmad Brooks to do his job on the other side, something that wasn’t consistently the case with Datone Jones and even Julius Peppers last season for the Packers.
This allowed Blake Martinez, the league leader in run stops according to Pro Football Focus, to play with more strength around him and flow more freely to the ball. He led the team with 12 tackles and made plays behind the line of scrimmage all day.
