Packers' James Jones: 'People wanted to throw us in the garbage'

James Jones came up huge Sunday for the Green Bay Packers, particularly in the second half when he made a spectacular sideline catch in a drive he punctuated with a touchdown reception and two-point conversion catch.

Jones' performance helped lift the Packers to a 30-13 victory over the Vikings, who had a five-game winning streak stopped.

Jones played a significant role with six receptions for 109 yards and that touchdown in the Packers' first win after three straight losses. The win put the Packers into a tie with the Vikings atop the NFC North. Both teams are 7-3.
