he deployed offensive personnel. The most obvious was that he subbed in at least one player on almost every offensive snap. In some more minor tweaks, he started Jamaal Williams instead of Aaron Jones at running back — Philbin said he wanted to call a specific run early that was better suited for Williams, though Aaron Rodgers audibled out of it. Jones still was the primary back (17 carries to Williams’ four). Philbin played Equanimeous St. Brown ahead of Marquez Valdes-Scantling in the receiver rotation, the opposite of how it had been under McCarthy, though both played regularly and finished with two receptions each.

Fourth down

Rookie cornerback Josh Jackson keeps racking up the penalties. He was called for holding Sunday, which was the eighth time he has been penalized(accepted and declined) this season, according to NFLpenalties.com. That ties him for third most among cornerbacks in the NFL. The holding call was his third of the season, along with two for grabbing the face mask, one each for illegal contact and unnecessary roughness and one for an illegal block above the waist.
