The young owners of the Green Bay Packers had some impressive performances in Sunday night’s game against the Tennessee Titans. With Aaron Jones somewhat limited, rookie running back AJ Dillon overcame a player he is often compared to – Derrick Henry – and he found the final zone for the first time in his NFL career.
Dillon has been a battering ram for the Packers and has stopped a 30-yard run in the fourth to 1 to help the Packers expand their lead to 19 points at the end of the third quarter. A quick cut and a broken tackle sent Dillon to the races:
For three quarters, Dillon leads all the rushers in the game with 92 yards, winning that yard in 14 loads.
At the beginning of the game, another Packer made his first trip to the end zone. Third-year wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown scored a touchdown in the Packers’ second offensive series, opening on a deep post route and pulling an easy pass from Aaron Rodgers for a 21-yard touchdown. This move has been St. Brown’s only target in three quarters of football, but it is a great move for the young player to grow.
St. Brown has seven receptions this season for 117 yards after losing all 2019 to an ankle injury.
