This hasn’t been the type of rookie season that Green Bay running back A.J. Dillon anticipated, but the second-round pick from Boston College demonstrated Sunday why the Packers drafted him. Dillon rushed for 124 yards – more than he had gained all season – and scored two touchdowns in a 40-14 rout of the Tennessee Titans. The breakthrough performance came after Dillon missed over a month because of COVID-19.

Kyle Shanahan said Jimmy Garoppolo “is going to be our quarterback next year.”

John Wolford will get the start in Jared Goff’s place this week.

Jets fans might have wanted their team to go 0-16 and land Trevor Lawrence, but NFL players have a strong incentive to play their best, even in a lost season.
