Coming out of Sunday’s loss to the Carolina Panthers, one of the common refrains from those who cover the Green Bay Packers (as well as their fans) was that Aaron Jones did not touch the football enough.
Jones broke a pair of explosive runs in the first half of the game, then seemingly disappeared from the game plan entirely. Why is that? We don’t know, but he actually still took the field on a substantial number of plays; he just did not get the football.
In fact, this game saw Jones play the most snaps since he got hurt and Jamaal Williams took over as the starter, as the two broke out about a 60/40 split of the snaps.
