The Green Bay Packers squared off with the Dallas Cowboys in a Week 5 matchup between two of the better teams in the NFL. With both holding a 3-1 record heading in, this promised to be a good game.

However, through three quarters, it was being dominated by someone most people probably weren't expecting to dominate it.

Green Bay running back Aaron Jones racked up four rushing touchdowns through just three quarters against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5.

Jones is the first Green Bay running back since 2000 (Dorsey Levens) to reach four rushing touchdowns in a game. Meanwhile, he's the first player with four rushing in a game against the Cowboys in NFL history.

While many consider Jones to be a very good running back, this was definitely a surprise. The Packers are simply getting close to the goal line and letting their bruising back run the ball in.

So far, the game plan is working.

Through three quarters, Jones has 12 carries for 87 yards and those four touchdowns. Meanwhile, he has a surprising six receptions for 68 yards.

This has all come together to mean a big lead for the Packers. Green Bay finds themselves with a 31-10 lead over the Cowboys heading into the fourth quarter.
