AJ Dillon’s dominant fourth quarter slams door on…

However, that was neutralized after a Jamal Adams interception in the Seahawks’ end zone that was followed by Jones injuring his knee on the first play of the Packers’ next offensive possession, leaving Dillon as the only active running back with any in-game offensive experience.

“When he first exited the game, he looked at me and said, ‘Get the job done, finish it off,'” Dillon recounted. “That’s like my big brother on this team, I love him to death, so for him to believe in me, that trust, was great.”

Dillon responded accordingly. He not only scored twice during the final quarter, but also took an underneath pass from Rodgers and extended it into a career-long 50-yard catch, which set up his second TD after the two-minute warning.

The work isn’t over for Dillon. If Jones has to miss any time, the onus would be on Dillon and first-year running back Patrick Taylor to carry the load for a backfield that already lost rookie seventh-round pick Kylin Hill to a season-ending knee injury.

Dillon is built for it, though. He carried the ball 845 times in three seasons at Boston College and has only continued to improve during his time in Green Bay.

“Very proud of him. He’s a great kid,” Rodgers said. “He’s a guy that’s become very reliable, and his catch and broken tackles and run down the sidelines to get us out of a backed-up situation, into their side of the field to put the game away and go up three scores, I mean, that was the play of the game, for sure. He probably had the three plays of the game with the touchdown runs and that catch and run.”

Locking them down: The Packers came into Sunday’s game with the tall task of shutting down the Seahawks’ one-two receiving punch of DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

Suffice to say, Green Bay’s defense passed with flying colors.

Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson connected just five times on 16 targets with Metcalf and Lockett, who combined for 49 receiving yards. What’s more, 16 of those came with Seattle facing fourth-and-26 on the last play of the game.

“We knew the offense ran through them – well, it runs through Russell but through the pass game, and those are the dynamic guys,” cornerback Kevin King said. “Running after those guys, they do all kinds of stuff. It was a team effort. It took the whole defense to contain those guys and to contain Russ.”
