Taking a short breather after a 12-yard catch, the Packers running back watched from the sideline while his fellow rookie and offseason roommate pin-balled off a barricade of Tampa Bay Buccaneers and broke free off the left side of Green Bay’s offensive line.
Jones, in his first game action in two weeks and on his only carry Sunday, sprinted into the open field and leaped into the end zone past a defender for a 20-yard touchdown, propelling the Packers to a 26-20 overtime victory in front of 77,684 at Lambeau Field.
With Jones in his first game back from a sprained MCL, Williams handled nearly all of the workload against Tampa Bay, racking up 113 rushing yards and a touchdown on 21 carries for his first NFL 100-yard rushing performance.
