Three members of the Green Bay Packers were honored by Pro Football Focus as standout performers at their respective positions in Week 8.
Running back Aaron Jones, left guard Elgton Jenkins and center Corey Linsley all made PFF’s “Team of the Week” after the Packers beat the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8.
Jones produced 226 total yards, including a career-high 159 receiving yards. He scored the game’s first touchdown and the game’s final go-ahead touchdown, both on receptions from Aaron Rodgers. According to PFF, Jones earned a receiving grade of 96.6 against the Chiefs. He now owns the second-highest overall receiving grade among NFL running backs through the first eight weeks.
Jones also broke four tackles on just 13 carries in the run game.
Jenkins and Linsley were both great on the interior of the Packers offensive line. Jenkins had an elite run-blocking grade and allowed only one total pressure, while Linsley finished the week with the NFL’s highest overall grade and run-blocking grade among centers.
It was Linsley who was out in front and delivering a key block on Jones’ 67-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Linsley and Jenkins both helped open lanes for Jones on the ground on the final drive, which closed out the game.
All three players were included in this week’s “studs and duds” listing, obviously under the “studs” category.
