Aaron Jones’ 15th touchdown of the 2019 season gave the Green Bay Packers an early 7-0 lead over the Washington Redskins on Sunday at Lambeau Field.
Jones scored from four yards out to finish off a seven-play, 50-yard drive. The Packers got a three-and-out on defense and a 10-yard punt return from newcomer Tyler Ervin to set up the opening possession.
Jones ran twice for 10 yards and caught two passes for 12 yards. Aaron Rodgers completed 3-of-4 passes for 32 yards, including a 20-yard gain to Jimmy Graham on the first play of the drive. He also scrambled for 13 yards and a first down.
On the touchdown, Jones found a hole off the right side of the offensive line and powered his way into the end zone to give the Packers an early lead over the 3-9 Redskins.
Jones came into Sunday ranked third in the NFL in rushing touchdowns, trailing only Christian McCaffrey and Dalvin Cook, who both have 12. Jones now only trails McCaffrey (16) in total touchdowns.
