GREEN BAY -- For the third time this season, Packers RB Aaron Jones has been nominated for the NFL's FedEx Ground Player of the Week for his performance vs. Carolina.
Fans can vote for Jones by going to NFL.com/FedEx or by visiting the NFL Twitter page.
Jones rushed 13 times for 93 yards and three touchdowns, his second three-TD game of the season as the Packers beat the Panthers, 24-16. He became the first Packers RB with two three-TD rushing games (he had four rushing scores at Dallas in Week 5) since Hall of Famer Jim Taylor in 1962.
With his three TDs, Jones also tied Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey for the overall NFL lead in touchdowns with 14. He's also tied with McCaffrey for the second-most nominations for this weekly award among all NFL running backs.
