Jacobs Powers Packers Past Bengals 28-17 as Emergency Kicker Stays Perfect

The veteran back’s illness did not prevent a second straight 150-yard, two-touchdown showcase that has jump-started Green Bay’s rushing attack.

Overview

  • Josh Jacobs totaled 150 yards from scrimmage with two rushing scores, carrying 18 times for 93 yards and catching five passes for 57.
  • He played through an illness that had him vomiting and coughing on the field and later said he just wanted to go home and rest.
  • The performance gave Jacobs consecutive games with at least 150 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns, the first Packer to do so since Ahman Green in 2001.
  • Emergency signing Lucas Havrisik, replacing injured Brandon McManus, made all five kicks and hit a 39-yard field goal with 1:52 left in his first NFL action since 2023.
  • Green Bay moved to 3-1-1 as its ground game gained traction, with Jacobs up to 21 inside-rush touchdowns since 2024, six more than any other player in that span.
