Green Bay Packers Running Back Josh Jacobs Makes History
Some running backs are workhorses. Others are flashy. Then there’s Josh Jacobs, who’s basically become Green Bay’s personal touchdown machine. The guy just scored his ninth consecutive touchdown, and honestly, it’s getting a little ridiculous at this point.
Breaking Records Like It’s His Day Job
Sunday’s 3-yard plunge against Detroit wasn’t just another score—it was history in the making. Jacobs extended his franchise record to nine straight games with a rushing touchdown, leaving Paul Hornung’s 1960 record in the dust like a linebacker trying to catch him in the open field.
Think about that for a second. Hornung’s record stood for 64 years. Sixty-four! That’s older than some of the coaches in the league. And Jacobs just casually broke it like he was opening a stubborn pickle jar.
The Raiders’ Costly Mistake
Remember when Las Vegas let this guy walk? They didn’t want to pay him big money. Classic Raiders move, right? It’s like trading away a Ferrari because you don’t want to pay for premium gas. Meanwhile, Green Bay is over here laughing all the way to the end zone. They snagged a proven commodity who rushed for 1,329 yards and 15 touchdowns in his debut season. Not bad for a “risky” free agent signing.
What Makes Jacobs Special
At 27, most running backs are already thinking about their next career. Not Jacobs. This dude is hitting his prime like a fine wine that somehow gets better with age. He’s got that rare combination of power and vision that makes defensive coordinators lose sleep. The man doesn’t just run—he punishes. Every carry looks like he’s personally offended by the defense’s existence. And the consistency? It’s almost boring how reliable he is. Almost.
The Packers’ Statement Win
Sunday’s beatdown of Detroit was more than just Week 1. It was Green Bay throwing down the gauntlet in the NFC North. The Lions won the division last year, so this was supposed to be their house. Instead, Jacobs and company turned it into a demolition site. The 27-13 wasn’t just comfortable—it was emphatic. It was the kind of performance that makes other teams in the division start updating their resumes.
What’s Next For the Touchdown King
Can Jacobs keep this streak alive? Ten games would be uncharted territory, the kind of record that makes Hall of Fame voters take notice. The schedule ahead isn’t exactly filled with cream puffs, but then again, good runners don’t need easy matchups.
The beauty of this streak isn’t just the numbers—it’s the reliability. In a league where running backs are treated like rental cars, Jacobs has become Green Bay’s most dependable luxury vehicle. He’s not just scoring touchdowns; he’s redefining what it means to be a workhorse in the modern NFL. Raiders fans, feel free to look away now. The rest of us will just enjoy watching history unfold, one touchdown at a time.
