James Jones, surprisingly among the league leaders in one key category, made the play of the game with his toe-tapping, 38-yard gain that set up the Packers for a touchdown.
After Sunday’s victory over the 49ers, Aaron Rodgers noted the one obvious weakness in the Green Bay Packers’ offense.
Without Jordy Nelson, the Packers lack a game-breaking, deep-ball threat.
Fortunately for Rodgers, James Jones is back to pick up more slack than anyone could have reasonably imagined.
On a day when the offense only rarely resembled the outfit that entered the game ranked fourth in scoring, Jones caught five passes for 98 yards.
