Packers see signs of life from tight ends, punt returner in lackluster win

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Here's a potential bonus for the Green Bay Packers down the stretch: They have a couple of tight ends who showed they can still be a contributing part of the offense, and the punt return unit stopped going backwards.

While neither is likely to be their identity -- something that some contend this team has lacked all season -- both could help take some of the burden of production off Davante Adams and his fellow receivers and supplement the Packers' best means of offense, Aaron Jones.

At least that's how it looked early in Sunday's 20-15 win against the Washington Redskins, another win against a punchless NFC East team that proved more difficult -- and more boring -- than it should have been as Green Bay maintained its one-game lead in the NFC North.
