Aaron Jones scores 3 TDs, goes over 100 yards for fourth straight game in win over Cowboys

No running back is playing at a higher level at this point in the 2023 NFL season than Aaron Jones, who scored three touchdowns and produced his fourth straight 100-yard rushing game during the Green Bay Packers48-32 win over the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC Wild Card Round on Sunday.

Jones carried 21 times for 118 yards. He scored back-to-back touchdowns to give the Packers an early 14-0 lead, and he found the end zone for the third time on a 9-yard scoring run that put the Packers up 34-10 early in the second half.

Jones produced four runs over 10 yards, including a 27-yarder. He also caught one pass for 13 yards and a first down.

Jones got it done running between the tackles and outside the tackles to the left and right:

Per Next Gen Stats, Jones had a success rate of 55.6, his fourth straight game at 50 percent or higher.

Jones and the Packers offensive line is on fire.

His last four games:

vs. CAR: 22 carries, 111 yards, 8 first downs, 63.6 success rate
vs. MIN: 20 carries, 12v0 yards, 6 first downs, 70.0 success rate
vs. CHI: 21 carries, 127 yards, 8 first downs, 71.4 success rate
vs. DAL: 21 carries, 118 yards, 6 first downs/TDs, 55.6 success rate

No one likes playing in AT&T Stadium more than Jones, who had his first 100-yard rushing game as a rookie in Dallas and then scored four touchdowns in a 34-24 road win over the Cowboys in 2019.

Jones has nine career touchdowns in just four career games against the Cowboys.

Up next for Jones and the Packers is a trip to San Francisco to play the 49ers, who allowed the third-fewest rushing yards and fourth fewest rushing touchdowns during the 2023 season.

Can Jones keep it rolling in the NFC Divisional Round?
