The Green Bay Packers routed the New Orleans Saints 34-0 on Monday night, securing a playoff berth. Running back Josh Jacobs led the Packers' offense, scoring a touchdown and rushing for 68 yards. The Saints struggled to contain the Packers' rushing attack and were unable to score.
Green Bay Packers fans could have gotten a jump start on wrapping Christmas gifts for their loved ones as their team dominated the New Orleans Saints on Monday night, 34-0. The Saints ’ defense had no answer for Packers running back Josh Jacobs and as they inched closer to the red zone on each drive, they still came away with no points. The struggles coupled together turned into a demoralizing late-season loss for a season that was already finished.
The Packers looked good early and often on their way to clinching a playoff spot. Jacobs’ rushing attack helped get Green Bay on the board on its first drive. It ended with a Jordan Love 2-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks. Then, Jacobs was rewarded with a touchdown of his own on the team’s second drive of the game. Before anyone knew it, Green Bay was up 21-0 and the halftime whistle sounded.
Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler finished 15-of-30 with 153 passing yards and an interception. He led the team with 28 rushing yards. He was sacked three times. New Orleans only ran the ball 20 times. Jordan Mims had five catches, leading the team, but only had 16 yards. No other player had more than two catches. Foster Moreau had 33 receiving yards to lead the team. It’s been a really competitive NFC North.
