The Green Bay Packers don't have much to play for this weekend against the New York Jets, but don't tell that to Packers running back Jamaal Williams, who put in a whole lot of effort for this touchdown on Sunday:

Williams will likely be getting a lot more carries over these final two weeks, as running back Aaron Jones is now out for the season after spraining his ACL in the Packers' loss to the Chicago Bears last weekend.
This was Williams' third touchdown of the season.
On the year overall, he has rushed for 365 yards on 98 carries.
The 23-year-old, who played his collegiate football at BYU, was originally selected by Green Bay in the fourth round (134th pick overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft.
He played in all 16 games last season, registering 556 yards and four scores on the ground while also hauling in 25 receptions for 262 yards and a couple of touchdowns.
The Packers came into Sunday's action with a record of 5-8-1. They were eliminated from playoff contention with their loss to the Bears last week, meaning that they will miss the postseason in back-to-back years for the first time since 2006. Last season, the Packers won just seven games and missed the playoffs, largely due to the fact that quarterback Aaron Rodgers was sidelined most of the year with a broken collarbone.
After finishing up with the Jets on Sunday, Green Bay will head back home to play host to the Detroit Lions in its final game of the regular season.
