The Green Bay Packers were able to take care of business in Week 12 NFL action, defeating the San Francisco 49ers by a final score of 38-10. Josh Jacobs was a huge part of the dominant performance that the Packers put together.
When everything was said and done, Jacobs ended up carrying the football 26 times for 106 yards and three touchdowns. Every single time the Packers needed him to make a play, he came through for them.
After all of the questions surrounding the decision to move on from Aaron Jones to bring in Jacobs, the former Las Vegas Raiders’ star running back has completely shut down all of the critics.
Throughout his first 11 games with Green Bay, Jacobs has carried the football 202 times for 944 yards and seven touchdowns. He has also caught 23 passes for 186 yards and a score.
At just 26 years old, the future is incredibly bright for Jacobs with the Green Bay Packers.
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacob Delivers Bold Message After Beating 49ers
Following the Packers’ big win over the 49ers, Jacobs spoke out with a very bold message. It’s clear just how much he loves being in Green Bay and playing for the franchise.
“The Packers believed in me. They took a chance on me. So every day I come in and try to pour everything I have into this team.”
Jacobs has been putting in the work and it has shown on the field. He clearly wants to win and he’s enjoying and cherishing each and every moment that he is having this season.
Imagine coming from a dysfunctional franchise like the Raiders and joining the Green Bay Packers. He’s winning at a high level so far this season for the first time and appears likely to be headed to the playoffs.
Not only has he been enjoying the success, he has been one of the biggest reasons for it.
All of that being said, Jacobs has quickly endeared himself to the Green Bay fan base. Losing Jones was a sad moment, but Jacobs has more than made up for that sadness.
Hopefully, he’ll continue to produce at the level that he has shown so far this season. If he keeps doing what he’s doing throughout the rest of the season, the Packers will have a chance to make some noise in the postseason.
