The Green Bay Packers were out to make a statement on their opening drive against the Washington Redskins on Sunday. Head coach Matt LaFleur devised a picture-perfect script that saw his team set up in the red zone in no time. After watching Aaron Rodgers do most of the work to get them down there, tailback Aaron Jones capped things off to get Green Bay on the board with a four-yard touchdown run.

That's what we like to call old school football.

What a start for the heavily-favored Packers.
