4. Jones scores multiple touchdowns again

How great has Aaron Jones been for the Green Bay Packers so far in 2019?

Well, the fact that Jones has already tied his career high of eight rushing touchdowns shows how valuable the running back has been for the Packers through five games, and he doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon.

Normally, Aaron Rodgers feels additional pressure running the offense due to a lack of support in the ground game, but if Jones continues to play at a high level, it’s only going to make Green Bay that much more dangerous of a team.

Last weekend, Jones managed to take his game to new levels for the Packers by rushing for 107 yards to help Green Bay defeat the Dallas Cowboys while earning four trips into the end zone as well.

Putting up similar numbers on Monday against the Detroit Lions will be quite the challenge with the way their defense looks, but Jones should at least feel comfortable in potentially finding the end zone multiple times again.

When looking at how intense this rivalry sometimes gets, this could end up being another game in which the Packers end up relying heavily on the run, meaning the opportunities will be there for Jones.
