Success in the run: The Packers were able to control the football in the second half thanks in large part to their success running directly at Baltimore’s top-ranked run defense.

Aaron Jones (13 carries for 58 yards) and AJ Dillon (seven carries for 22 yards and a touchdown) led the Packers’ balanced attack, with Jones also adding a 9-yard touchdown catch. It was Jones’ sixth receiving TD of the year, marking the most by a Green Bay running back since Johnny “Blood” McNally’s 11 in 1931.

When asked about Green Bay’s success against Baltimore’s front, Jones gave credit to the Packers’ offensive line coach/run game coordinator Adam Stenavich and a position group that’s continued to perform well despite being down four preferred starters.

“Steno does a great job with those guys, and I always let those guys know and they know themselves that it all starts with them up front,” Jones said. “If they don’t come out ready to play, we can’t run the ball, we can’t get a pass off. So it all starts with them.”

Campbell’s sack: Sunday marked De’Vondre Campbell’s fifth game this season with at least 10 tackles.

There was perhaps no one more important than his fourth-and-goal sack of quarterback Tyler Huntley to end Baltimore’s opening drive. After receiving the opening kickoff, the Ravens drove 70 yards in 14 plays down to Green Bay’s 3-yard line.

Looking to make an early statement, Baltimore chose to go for it on fourth down. After Huntley rolled out, Campbell did well to stay in front of the mobile QB to drop him for a 3-yard loss.

“I think it was a huge play in the game,” said Campbell, who leads Green Bay with 125 tackles this season. “I was just kind of reading the quarterback and pushing through my zone and I didn’t have anybody to cover, so I just kind of went and added on to the blitz. We thought he was going to throw it away, but he didn’t. So, it was a pretty good play.”
