Packers and Cowboys fans share love of tailgating before playoff game
Packers and Cowboys fans share love of tailgating at AT&T Field in Arlington, Texas.
Is there anyone who loves playing the Dallas Cowboys as much as Aaron Jones?
Well, the Packers running back owns them.
We know as a team the Green Bay Packers own the Chicago Bears but Jones, by himself, can stake an ownership claim over Dallas after what he keeps doing to them.
On Sunday as Jones was putting on a show during the Packers’ 48-32 wild-card playoff beatdown of the Cowboys his Wikipedia page was briefly updated with the description: “owner of the Dallas Cowboys.”
He earned the title.
Through three quarters, Jones tied a Packers postseason record with three touchdowns as he gashed the Dallas defense. He then surpassed the 100-yard mark early in the fourth quarter.
The Packers fed him often and he finished the night with 21 carries for 118 yards, an average of 5.6 yards per carry, before being pulled in the fourth quarter when the Packers had the game locked up.
It was a happy homecoming for Jones, an El Paso native, as well as for his family members, some of whom were in attendance and the recipient of footballs after Jones’ touchdowns.
The performance comes four years after he recorded four touchdowns against the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in a Packers 34-24 win.
And last year against the Cowboys at Lambeau Field in another Packers win, Jones rushed for 138 yards and a score.
He entered the game averaging 123.3 yards and six touchdowns in three games against the Cowboys.
Here are his eye-popping numbers now after his latest spectacular game against the Cowboys:
