After rushing for 132 yards on 15 carries during the Green Bay Packers’ 27-10 win over the Chicago Bears, running back Aaron Jones has been nominated for FedEx Ground Player of the Week for Week 2 of the 2022 NFL season.
As of Sunday, Jones’ 132 rushing yards are the most by a player during Week 2, and the fifth-highest total of the 2022 season.
Jones averaged 8.8 yards per carry against the Bears. He created four runs of at least 14 yards, seven of at least seven yards and 10 of at least five yards. His lone touchdown was a run of 15 yards.
Overall, Jones created 170 yards and scored a pair of touchdowns during a dynamic performance in primetime.
“Aaron Jones, man, he was absolutely electric,” coach Matt LaFleur said. “Every time I’d think he was going down he’d somehow find a way to squirt his way through. And he’s just a hell of a competitor, and he’s a guy that just embodies everything that you want in a football player, the way he works, how selfless he is, how he cheers for his teammates, how he supports his teammates. They don’t make many like this guy. He is one of a kind. And we’re lucky to have a guy like that.”
