After eviscerating the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, Green Bay Packers star Aaron Jones capped his big afternoon with a celebration sure to ring through the AT&T Stadium walls for years to come.
The Packers stunned the No. 2-seed Cowboys with a huge ,48–32, road win spurred, in part, by Jones’s best-ever playoff game. The lead back tallied 21 carries for a game-high 118 rushing yards and three touchdowns, as well as one reception for 13 yards to help Green Bay become the first No. 7 seed to win a postseason game.
As Green Bay celebrated its historic win, a clearly excited Jones needed just one word to react to his performance, as the seven-year veteran yelled “Yeah!” on his run to the locker room.

Following a regular season labored by injury, Jones, who missed six games, now has plenty to cheer about with the Packers advancing to a divisional round date with the No. 1 seed 49ers.
With four straight games of at least 100 rushing yards, it’ll be interesting what Jones does for an encore, and a follow-up celebation, should he turn in another upset-clinching effort in the next round.
