After last week’s dominating 43 point output for the Green Bay Packers, fans and analysts wondered what Green Bay could do for an encore. They kept the offense on full tilt with another 40+ point performance. The first time Green Bay has done that since the early 80s. For all of the haters that said the Packers offense would look stagnant and struggle again, they’re all wrong and need to find a new slant for the rest of September. Green Bay ran through the Detroit Lions for another victory against their rival. Packers won 42-21 with their second straight double-digit victory against a rival.

Player of the Game: Aaron Jones – What a game from the Packers’ running back. Jones finished with 236 total yards. That is a new career-high for him. Jones could not be stopped whether it was on the ground or through the air. On the ground, Jones rushed for 168 yards and two touchdowns. Through the air, Jones had 68 yards on four catches. He was the leading rusher and receiver. It was the most by a Packers’ player since Billy Howton had 247 in 1963. Elite level stuff from Jones who continues to justify his case for a contract extension.

Honorable Mention: Chandon Sullivan – Is this a breakout game for the young corner from Georgia State? Remember, he had a big moment against Dallas last season, but Sullivan was still a bench player. This year, Packers elevated him to a role with more responsibility at the nickel corner taking over for legend Tramon Williams. Sullivan showed today why he’s ready for that transition. He made a key pick-six to push the Packers’ lead out further plus made a few nice plays on the ball defensively.

One Thing I Liked: Packers carved you up in so many ways – The thing that was special about the Packers again this week is the fact they’re able to beat you in about 7000 different ways. Now that might be an exaggeration, but still, they’re showing what a high-powered offense can do. The crossing routes with man coverage are my favorite development this season.

One Thing I Disliked: Slow starts are not for me – Packers were a team that started fast last season then petered out in the second half. That was their calling card. This year, could it be the slow starts? Packers were down 14-3 in this one before waking up to win the rest of the way, 39-7. A similar thing happened in Minnesota. Wonder if it has something to do with the lack of crowds.

Next up: A big one in the Big Easy as the Packers head to New Orleans on Sunday Night Football. It will be awesome to hear Al and Cris on the call. We’ll see if the Saints are 2-0 as well. They’re playing the Las Vegas Raiders tonight. Packers will be up against it, although, you have to like this offense in a controlled environment.
