In the Green Bay Packers’ 31-23 loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday, a couple of storylines emerged from the breakdown of playing time. The first is a battle that Packers fans have been waging with the team’s head coach, who appears entirely unwilling to give in and give running back Aaron Jones the lion’s share of the snaps in the backfield.
Yet again, Jones led the team in rushing yardage and per-carry average, but he finished with the lowest snap total of the team’s three backs. This week he got just 22 snaps despite the offense running a whopping 81 plays!
