Packers' Jordan Love Used One Word To Describe Josh Jacobs After RB's 3-Touchdown Game

The Green Bay Packers scored some measure of revenge against the team that took them out in the 2023 NFC divisional playoffs, as they eked out a 38-10 win at Lambeau Field on Sunday over the San Francisco 49ers.

This time around, though, the Packers had a new weapon to use against the Niners: running back Josh Jacobs. The veteran tailback, who inked a four-year deal worth $48 million last March, burned rubber for 106 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 26 carries. Jacobs' three-TD output on the ground also tied a career-high for the former Alabama Crimson Tide star.

Jacobs' effective running made life easier for Packers quarterback Jordan Love. Following the 49ers game, Love hopped on social media to show some love to his teammate.

"DAWG," Love captioned his Instagram Story post about Jacobs.

Love was not too shabby himself in the Niners game, with the signal-caller coming up with 163 passing yards and two touchdowns on 13-of-23 pass completions. But it was Jacobs who truly stood out for the Packers, who improved to 8-3 through 12 weeks of football. Jacobs is closing in on the 1,000-yard mark in his first season with Green Bay, as he now has 944 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 202 carries.

Jacobs can reach that milestone as soon as Week 13 when the Packers host the Miami Dolphins.
