Josh Jacobs scores the Packers’ first touchdown, giving GB an early 7-0 lead over the Rams

It took five weeks, but Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs finally has his first touchdown with his new team. Jacobs leapt outside and scored on a 2-yard touchdown run to cap off a 96-yard scoring drive, giving the Packers a 7-0 lead over the Los Angeles Rams in the first quarter of Sunday’s showdown at SoFi Stadium provided.

Jacobs had 84 touchdowns entering the 2024 season without scoring a touchdown.

At touch #85 the following happened:

With the inside hole plugged, Jacobs bounced the run outside to his right and ran beyond the end zone for the touchdown. The rating was confirmed during the video review.

Jacobs’ goal came after an incredible throw and catch from Jordan Love to Jayden Reed. Love threw into triple coverage, but the perfect throw and catch beat the defense 53 yards.

The 53-yarder could be the catch of the year for the Packers.

On two drives, Jacobs has five carries for 27 yards and a score. Reed converted three touches into 65 yards.

Jacobs probably should have scored in Week 2, but he fumbled at the goal line. Three weeks later, he’s finally in the end zone.
