Josh Jacobs admits to feeling rusty in Green Bay Packers’ Week 7 loss vs. Detroit Lions

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs admitted in his postgame interview that he felt rusty after missing six weeks due to an offseason incident. In his debut back for the team, Jacobs rushed for 36 yards on 11 carries and caught five passes for 55 yards and a touchdown during the 20-17 loss to the Detroit Lions. With the game tied at 17-all with under three minutes remaining, Jacobs had a chance to secure a one-score lead for the Packers but dropped Jordan Love's pass in the end zone on third down, leading to a field goal.

Jacobs said, "I apologize to the guys because at the end of the game, I didn't lose it. The ball just happened to fall a little bit sooner than I thought, and it was one of those where I was so open and felt like everything was going slow motion." Despite the Packers' current struggles in rushing yards and yards per attempt, Jordan Love is optimistic about the team's offensive improvement with Jacobs back in the lineup.
