The Packers likely needed a win to give themselves any real chance at making a late-season push to the playoffs. Instead, they were largely helpless in losing to the Titans, ByRyanWood writes.
The Packers finally found an opponent Aaron Jones can’t run all over. Five days after gaining 138 yards on 24 carries against the Cowboys, Jones was held to 40 yards on 12 carries. It was his fewest yards on double-digit carries this season.
The Titans entered with the NFL’s second-best run defense, and defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons returned after missing last week’s game because of an ankle injury. Still, there’s no question Jones’ inability to get untracked placed a low ceiling on the Packers offense. For Matt LaFleur’s group to be at its best, the Packers need Jones getting his customary 5 yards per carry. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, forced to sling 39 passes, completed only 61.5% of his passes for 227 yards and a 94.
