Maybe the most impressive run of Josh Jacobs’ young career with the Green Bay Packers gave his team a 20-17 lead over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at EverBank Stadium.
Jacobs made a defender miss and raced behind the block of Christian Watson downfield to score a 38-yard touchdown, helping the Packers re-take the lead in the second half after Jordan Love exited the game with a groin injury.

The touchdown came after the Packers fell behind 17-13 and lost Love. In came Malik Willis, and he led the Packers on an eight-play, 80-yard scoring drive. He converted a third down with a completion to Dontayvion Wicks and had a 20-yard scramble. Jacobs finished the job with the longest run of his 2024 season.
Jacobs gave the Packers a 7-0 advantage in the first half on a short touchdown run. This is his first multi-touchdown game with the Packers.
