The Alabama alumni will lead the Green Bay Packers against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs carries the football during an NFL game against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, Oct. 6, 2024, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif.“We’ve talked about that, oh yeah,” Green Bay offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich said on Thursday. “That’s something that’s on our minds, for sure. Get rid of that record. He got the record, so now we don’t need to prolong it any further than it’s already gone.
Jacobs reached the end zone on a 2-yard run to start the scoring in the Packers’ 24-19 victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday for his first touchdown for Green Bay. After five seasons with the Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders, Jacobs joined the Packers as a free agent in March. With 205 receptions, including eight this season for Green Bay, Jacobs has the most in NFL history without a touchdown reception.
Against the Rams, Jacobs had his longest reception of the season for a 21-yard gain, but he was tackled at the Los Angeles 20-yard line. The longest reception of Jacobs’ career – a 43-yarder – ended at the Denver Broncos 7-yard line in the Raiders’ 22-16 victory on Nov. 20, 2022.of his chances of catching a touchdown pass. “It depends on the defense and how they’re playing us. But I like me in open space in any situation, any scenario, so we’ll see.
