GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – The Green Bay Packers (4-4-1) rode two passing touchdowns by Aaron Rodgers, two rushing touchdowns by Aaron Jones, and six sacks from a swarming defense to a 31-12 victory at home against the Miami Dolphins.
The Dolphins (5-5) fell behind 7-0 in the first quarter and never led throughout the game. Quarterback Brock Osweiler finished with 213 passing yards, zero tochdowns, and one interception.
Aaron Jones ran for a career-high 145 yards on fifteen carries and provided the Packers offense with some much needed balance.
Aaron Rodgers finished 19 for 28 with two touchdowns, a 7 yard completion to Davante Adams in the first quarter and another 25 yard touchdown to Davante Adams in the third quarter.
The Green Bay defense allowed Dolphins rookie kicker Jason Sanders to tie a Miami franchise record with four made field goals, but denied the Dolphin offense from ever finding the endzone.
Cornerback Bashaud Breeland burned Brock Osweiler with a third quarter interception and six differant Green Bay defenders registered a sack.
An already banged up Green Bay defense lost two more starters when safety Kentrell Brice and linebacker Nick Perry both exited with injuries.
On a short week the Packers will travel to Seattle to face the Seahawks next on Thursday Night Football.
