Josh Jacobs Efficient in Loss

Packers RB Josh Jacobs notched 95 yards on 13 carries in a Week 9 loss to Detroit. Jacobs’ 7.3 yards per carry mark tied his single-game career high.

The Packers surely wanted to establish the run, as Sunday turned up sloppy conditions and a less-than-100% Jordan Love (groin).

Instead, Green Bay was forced to lean pass in the second half. They entered halftime down 17-3 and lost by a final score of 24-14.

Deep in the 4th quarter, Emanuel Wilson scored a garbage time TD from 2 yards out. Jacobs saw only one touch – at the 10:07 mark – in the 4th quarter.

Note that he also entered the weekend questionable with an ankle injury. We haven’t heard of any setback, while the former Raider will now get a Week 10 bye to rest up. He should retain a top-10 ceiling for Week 11 at Chicago.
