Aaron Jones’ star turn took another step forward on Sunday, as the Green Bay Packers running back set a career-high in all-purpose yardage. But Jones was nowhere close to his career-high in snaps. In fact, he was on the field for fewer than half of the Packers’ offensive plays.
Whether explicitly by design or based on the way the Detroit Lions were defending him, Jones was absolutely the focal point of the Packers’ offense. Not only did he get the lion’s share of the carries out of the backfield, but he also led the team in pass targets.
