Aaron Jones, not Rodgers, proving to be Packers’ MVP

Eddie Lacy was Green Bay’s previous 1,000-yard rusher. That was five years ago.

Aaron Jones had another big game in a win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, and the third-year back continues to prove he is exactly what the Packers need if they’re going to represent the NFC in Miami in February.
