Aaron Jones rushed for a season-high 134 yards and a touchdown on just 16 carries, Aaron Rodgers threw for 195 yards and the Green Bay Packers did enough to beat the Washington Redskins (3-10) 20-15 Sunday.
Jones had his third 100-yard rushing game of the season and hauled in six catches for 58 yards. With fewer than 3 minutes left in the game, the third-year running back had more total yards (192) than the Redskins (187). Dwayne Haskins completed 16 of 27 passes for 170 yards and a touchdown with an interception for Washington (3-10), which was officially eliminated from playoff contention. The rookie quarterback was sacked four times.
Adrian Peterson became just the sixth back in NFL history to reach the 14,000-yard mark, running for 76 yards and a score. He now has 14,036 yards in a 13-year career. Curtis Martin is fifth all-time with 14,101 yards. Derrius Guice exited after only five carries with a knee injury.
Jones scored from 4 yards out on the Packers’ opening drive. It was Jones’ 12th rushing touchdown and 15th TD of the season. Rodgers found Robert Tonyan for a 12-yard touchdown on Green Bay’s other first-quarter score.
Haskins led Washington on an 11-play, 95-yard drive that was capped by a 2-yard score by Peterson with 3:44 to play in the first quarter. Dustin Hopkins missed the extra point.
Green Bay (10-3) led 14-6 at halftime.
After Mason Crosby’s field goal, Hopkins nailed a 52-yarder to cut it to 17-9 before the end of the third. Crosby was good on a 33-yard attempt with 2:34 to go to seal the win.
Haskins linked up with Terry McLaurin on a 13-yard score late. Haskins was stopped by Blake Martinez on the two-point conversion. The Packers then recovered an onside kick and ran out the clock for the win.
