The Green Bay Packers (2-4) are heading into Week Seven with a critical matchup Vs. the Minnesota Vikings. The Packers are in desperate need of a win, not only to try to save their season, but build confidence throughout the team.
The Vikings are coming off a huge win against the San Francisco 49ers and have all the confidence in the world. If the Packers want to knock off the Vikings and get back on track, Aaron Jones will likely need to play a big role in their offensive plans. Ahead of their matchup, Jones had some something to say to the fans.
Green Bay Packers Running Back Aaron Jones Tells Fans To Stick With The Team Through The End Of The Year
FOX6’s Lily Zhao interviewed Jones this week before their big game on Sunday. This is what he had to say:
FOX6’s Lily Zhao: “The standard of winning is very high in Green Bay. You guys have started 2-4. I know fans are getting restless. Do you have a message for them at all?”
“Just stick with us,” said Jones. “We need you guys, our true supporters through ups and downs. We’re in a down, but we’re about to bring that right back up and all it takes is one to get on a roll, and like I said, we have everything right there out in front of us.”
Home-field advantage will be huge for the Packers if they want to get the win over Minnesota. After coming off a loss to the Broncos (a game in which many believed the Packers should’ve won) Jones was also asked about the mood on the airplane ride home:
“That’s the biggest message that I had in the locker room about sticking together during the times that things aren’t going our way,” said Aaron Jones.
“We got to learn how to win every year as a new team, and we’ve been in every game. If you look at last year, Minnesota had nine one-score wins, and we’ve been in those games, and us being in those games early will be better for us in the end. We have four losses and people are already hitting the panic button.
There’s no need to hit the panic button. Everything’s all right there in front of us. We still have the NFC North in front of us. Everything we want is still out there, so just keeping everybody together and keeping our main goal the main goal.”
