Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs went over 1,000 rushing yards and then scored his 10th total touchdown of the 2024 season during the first half of Thursday night’s showdown with the Detroit Lions at Ford Field.
Jacobs came into the contest with 987 rushing yards — the third-most in the NFL — through 13 weeks. It took him three carries to get the 13 yards necessary to reach 1,000 yards for the season, his first in Green Bay.
This marks the fourth 1,000-yard rushing season for Jacobs and his first since 2022. He previously rushed for 1,150 yards as a rookie in 2019, 1,065 yards in 2020 and an NFL-high 1,653 yards in 2022.
And for the third time in his six-year NFL career, Jacobs has scored at least 10 touchdowns in a season.
Jacobs finished off a second quarter drive with a 1-yard touchdown — marking his ninth rushing touchdown of the season and his fourth straight game with a rushing score. Jacobs came into the contest with eight rushing touchdowns and one receiving touchdown.
Jacobs’ latest score cut the Lions’ lead to 10-7 in the second quarter.
