Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs continued his stellar first season with the team, delivering a commanding performance against the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football. Jacobs rushed for his 14th touchdown of the season, his sixth consecutive game with a rushing touchdown, tying the second-longest streak in Packers history. He has now accumulated nine rushing touchdowns over the last five games. During the game, Jacobs amassed significant yardage and showcased his power with a mean stiff-arm on Saints safety Tyrann Mathieu. One noteworthy drive saw the Packers execute a 17-play, 96-yard march lasting eight minutes and 55 seconds, culminating in Jacobs' touchdown run, putting Green Bay ahead 14-0. Jacobs is on pace for 272 scrimmage yards in the game and has surpassed 1,200 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns through Week 16, becoming only the third Packers running back to achieve this feat since Ahman Green in 2003. The Packers' offense has been prolific, averaging over 30 points in four straight games.
