Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs no longer holds a bizarre NFL record. To celebrate, he gave a gift to Jordan Love after beating the Houston Texans.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – For the past couple weeks, the Green Bay Packers have been trying to get Josh Jacobs into the end zone and out of the NFL record book.Midway through the third quarter of the Packers’ victory over the Houston Texans, Jacobs caught a screen and lost 3 yards. It was the 211th reception of his career, the most ever for a player without a touchdown catch.
“We talked about it all week at practice that, ‘Man, this is the week that we’re going to get to,’” Jacobs said. “We had like three or four plays in the red zone for me. I appreciate my coaches, and the teammates wanted me to get that, and calling it for that situation. Indeed, after Jacobs got done with his final wave of interviews, he walked across the locker room to Jordan Love’s locker. Jacobs told Love that the ball was his and they embraced.
