The Green Bay Packers secured a convincing win against the Dallas Cowboys thanks to the efforts of running back Aaron Jones. To no surprise, his performance graded out rather well with the usual metrics.
Jones enjoyed a career day with 107 yards and our touchdowns on 5.6 yards per carry. His performance garnered a high rating from Pro Football Focus:
The highest graded Packers player from offense against Dallas was Aaron Jones (88.6).
In addition to earning a career high grade, Jones also had a career-high (8) missed tackles forced on rushing attempts.
The high grade for Jones should come as no surprise. His historic performance helped to Green Bay make wuite a statement in Dallas. He will now be looking to keep that momentum going in a crucial NFC North matchup with the Detroit Lions in Week 6.
Jones' performance solidified the notion that he is capable of producing big games on a weekly basis with the right amount of touches. Although he has been no stranger to reaching the end zone this year, he has not been able to chew up much yardage. However, the recent absence of running back Jamaal Williams has made way for him to carry the workload in the backfield.
Williams still has not been cleared from concussion protocol. As a result, Jones could be poised to take on a healthy dosage of touches once again versus Detroit.
It will be interesting to see if this dynamic changes if he continues to perform at a high level.
