Minneapolis — James Jones was largely invisible as the Green Bay Packers' offense sputtered and stuttered the last few weeks. Eddie Lacy's lack of production had people speculating about his weight, his ankle, his groin, his eating habits, his running style, even his desire.
They were Exhibits 1 and 1A when it came to what ailed the Packers. A 31-year-old receiver who struggled to separate and a running back who was suddenly very good at getting tackled.
How, then, to explain their astonishing production Sunday in a 30-13 dismantling of the upstart Minnesota Vikings at TCF Bank Stadium?
