The Green Bay Packers are 8-2, in second place in the NFC, and a legitimate Super Bowl contender. That was the message that the team delivered on Sunday against a tough Carolina Panthers team desperate for a victory to put themselves in position for a playoff spot.
And the way the Packers did it was particularly impressive. With the team facing MVP candidate Christian McCaffrey, it was the Packers’ runners who made the headlines. Aaron Jones had a huge day, with more than 90 yards and three touchdowns to lead the team, while Jamaal Williams pitched in 13 carries for 63 yards of his own.
