There are two ways you can look at the Packers win on Sunday. They won the game and they’ve won 10 games. They’re the second seed in the NFC. These are all things every Packers fans would have taken in early August if you asked them. The other side of this is the Packers’ offense looked lifeless, lazy and didn’t have the punch they will need against the good teams in the NFL. How I see things is you can be happy about winning the 10th game of the year. But you know Green Bay needs to play better in the coming weeks in order to win.

Player of the Game: Aaron Jones – What a game for Aaron Jones. He was the star of the show. The Green Bay running back rushed for 134 yards with a touchdown then added six catches for 58 yards. Jones totaled 192 yards of offense. Before Washington’s final drive of the game, Jones had more yards than the Redskins did for the full game. This might be a dumb take, but Matt LaFleur may have held Jones back in the last few weeks to get him fresh for the postseason.

Honorable Mention: Tyler Ervin – Look, he didn’t do anything special in this game but the fact Green Bay received positive yards on punt returns was something else. Ervin did a great job fielding punts then pushing them forward for positive yards. It was nice to have that actually be an option for this Green Bay team. While it’s the media’s most annoying joke of the NFL year, it is nice to see them actually return punts.

A Thing to Ponder: Can this offense be fixed? – The answer is yes. Look, the Packers had a hot stretch in the middle of the year. They took a step back with a couple of losses but all hope is not lost. Green Bay needs to get back to playing that brand of football. Jones and Davante Adams both can have big days with this offense. But Matt LaFleur needs to figure out how to make that happen. Currently, that has puzzled the first-year coach.

Concern Level Check: Don’t worry too much about this – As I said, they need to play better but sometimes, you play down to your competition. They did that a bit with New York and Washington. I expect a different performance against Chicago next week. If this continues with the Bears next week, maybe there are bigger issues here. But there’s no need to push a panic button despite what people will tell you this week on your local radio airwaves.

Next up: Green Bay gets set to take on the Chicago Bears for the last home game of the season. Packers-Bears will be a lot different from earlier in the year. Packers can knock the Bears out of playoff contention likely if they win. Bears are one of the hottest teams in football. Green Bay will have to figure out a way to slow down Mitch Trubisky and this new-look offense.
