Acme Packing Company
The Packers workhorse back hammered away at the Jaguars until they broke.
Last week, ESPN columnist Bill Barnwell suggested the Packers might not be getting their money’s worth for Josh Jacobs. On Sunday, we saw exactly why the Packers would disagree.
Even if it was only Jacobs’ second 100-yard game of the year, it was the timeliness and consistency of his runs that made the difference. With Jordan Love on the sideline and Malik Willis in need of a helping hand, Jacobs was a sledgehammer in the backfield, hammering away at the Jaguars defense until he finally broke through for his 38-yard touchdown run.
Jacobs hasn’t always put up big stats, but his consistency, availability, and reliability have been worth everything the Packers paid him. He’s done exactly the job that the Packers have asked him to do, and whoever is under center for the Packers on Sunday, he’ll be ready and available to help out.
Jacobs teamed up with Rasheed Walker and Elgton Jenkins for the game-deciding run.
Edgerrin Cooper turned in his best performance of his rookie season to make some key plays for the Packers’ defense.
How did Malik Willis and Jayden Reed land on exactly the right play to torch the Jaguars on the game-winning drive?
Matt LaFleur could have played it safe and conservative and hoped for the best in overtime…but he didn’t.
Jordan Love is day to day and the Packers have no choice but to see what happens.
Obviously, this is the crime of the century and all resources need to be devoted to finding these evil thieves.
