Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones set the new franchise record for consecutive games with 100 or more rushing yards at five when he rushed for 108 yards during the Packers’ 24-21 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Divisional Round.
Jones went over 100 rushing yards and set the new record on a 53-yard run in the fourth quarter.
Jones broke Ahman Green’s record of four straight 100-yard rushing games during the 2003 season. His five-game streak is tied for the 24th longest in NFL history and is the longest in the NFL since DeMarco Murray had eight straight in 2014.
Over the last five games, including the final three regular season games and two playoff games, Jones rushed for 127 yards, 120 yards, 111 yards, 118 yards and 108 yards.
Despite missing six games to injury and being limited to under 40 percent of snaps in three others, Jones still finished the year with 882 rushing yards and 1,136 total yards over 13 games, including the postseason. Of his 882 rushing yards, 584 came over the final five games.
Here’s Jones’ end to the 2023 season, in visual form:
According to the Packers, Jones was the first player to rush for over 100 yards against the 49ers in 50 games.
Barry Sanders currently holds the NFL record for consecutive games with 100 or more rushing yards at 14 during the 1997 season.
Jones, 29, is under contract to return to the Packers at a cap number of a little over $17 million in 2024. His deal voids after the 2024 season.
