Running back Josh Jacobs powered the Green Bay Packers to their sixth victory in their past seven games by scoring three touchdowns in a 38-10 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
The Packers lost to the 49ers 24-21 in the second round of the NFC playoffs last season but added Jacobs as a free agent in the offseason. Jacobs ran for 106 yards on 26 carries on Sunday at Lambeau Field.
According to the NFL’s Next Gen Stats, Jacobs caused 15 missed tackles by San Francisco, the most of any ball-carrier in an NFL game this season.
All of Jacobs’ touchdowns came on 1-yard runs. His first touchdown stretched Green Bay’s lead to 17-0 with 6:33 left in the first half, the second moved the margin to 24-7 with 4:28 left in the third quarter and the final TD put the Packers in front 31-10 with 10:59 remaining.
