Three of Rodgers’ touchdowns passes Monday were to running back Aaron Jones. The Packers were intent to establish Jones on Monday night after the star was held to 22 yards on seven touches against the Saints. Each of their first three snaps Monday night resulted in handoffs to Jones.
Jones also caught six passes for 48 yards against the Lions, half of them for touchdowns. He became the first Packers running back to catch three touchdowns in a game since Andy Uram, who did so against the Chicago Cardinals in 1942. Jones added 67 yards on 17 carries, including a 1-yard plunge into the end zone for his fourth score.
