Packers' Aaron Jones is on Pace for Some Ridiculous Numbers This Season
By Andy Loughmiller
There is another Aaron in Green Bay that it putting up video game-like numbers. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is getting a ton of praise for his dominant two-game stretch, but Packers' running back Aaron Jones also deserves recognition for his contributions on offense.
Jones had his best all-around game of the season in Green Bay's Week 8 matchup against the Chiefs. He has become one of the most dynamic weapons in all of football, as he's getting it done on the ground and through the air.

The Green Bay Packers defeated the Chiefs in Arrowhead thanks in large part to Jones's dual contributions a runner and pass-catcher. The third-year back out of UTEP is having the best season of his young NFL career, and is on pace to finish the season with video game numbers from scrimmage.
We're officially halfway through the #Packers season.

Aaron Jones is one pace for:
932 rushing yards, 16 TD.
710 receiving yards, 6 TD.
TOTAL: 1,642 all-purpose yards & 22 TD.
If Jones can end the year with over 1,600 all-purpose yards and 20 total touchdowns, he's a slam dunk to make the Pro Bowl. The multi-purpose back is quickly becoming a force in the league, as well as an invaluable part of Green Bay's scheme.
The Packers will be on the road again in Week 9 to take on the Chargers. Jones will be looking to continue his hot streak against an underachieving Los Angeles defense.
