Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is all about scoring touchdowns. With Jacobs taking care of business on the ground, Green Bay has become one of the most terrifying rushing attacks in the league, and they showed that again in Week 16’s showdown against the New Orleans Saints at Lambeau Field.
Jacobs extended his touchdown streak to six games when he punched in a rushing score in the second quarter against the Saints. His two-yard touchdown run gave Green Bay a 13-point lead before the extra-point kick by Brandon McManus.

Jacobs’ six-game touchdown streak is now a career-high for the former Alabama Crimson Tide, who is having an outstanding year with the Packers. The Packers showed Jacobs the money in the offseason, signing him to a four-year deal worth $48 million, and so far, that investment has been returning huge dividends for Green Bay in terms of on-field production from the 26-year-old star.

Jacobs’ touchdown has fans going bonkers on X (the social media platform formerly known as Twitter). Here are some of the reactions online to Jacobs’ TD.
“best rb in the league”
“Absolute beast mode”
“getting it done!”“Jacobs is a monster! 🔥”
“Jacobs going to get another one”
Overall in the 34-0 win over the Saints, Jacobs racked up 69 rushing yards and a touchdown on 13 carries. He didn’t have to do much after the first half, with the Packers blowing out the lethargic Saints. Emmanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks also scored a rushing touchdown each for Green Bay, which secured a playoff ticket with the win over New Orleans.
