3 bold predictions for Packers offense against Falcons in Week 2

3. More rushing production from Packers top two backs

There was one takeaway from last week's game which is a bit confusing in the grand scheme of things. The volume of runs and overall effectiveness of Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon.

Jones rushed just nine times while hauling in two passes for 86 yards and a touchdown. While the production in the passing game makes up for his lack of rushing attempts, one would think that a back with a healthy 4.6 yards per carry would get a few more touches in the ground game on a day that saw Green Bay lead by double-digits for almost the entirety of the second half.

Dillon was afforded more opportunities on the ground but was not able to find any real success, rushing for just 19 yards on 13 carries, seven of which came on one attempt. One-game sample size aside, this is massive decrease in overall effectiveness for the 25-year-old running back when compared to his career average of 4.2 yards per carry.

Atlanta allowed 154 total yards on the ground as the Panthers' running back tandem of Miles Sanders (18 carries for 72 yards) and Chuba Hubbard (nine carries for 60 yards) were each able to be successful when running the ball. The Packers' duo of backs should be able to replicate something similar as they hope to get more than 60 yards total on the ground from their top two options in the running game.
