WATCH: Packers back on top from Josh Jacob’s first rushing TD of year
Green Bay running back Josh Jacobs scored his first rushing touchdown of the year against the Carolina Panthers to give the Packers a 13-10 lead.
In a recent game, the Green Bay Packers managed to regain the lead against the Carolina Panthers, thanks to a one-yard touchdown run by running back Josh Jacobs. This marked Jacobs' first rushing touchdown of the season, as he had been suspended for the first six games of the year due to a personal issue.
The touchdown was set up by Christian Watson's 53-yard reception, but Watson left the game injured and is currently questionable to return. Earlier in the game, a questionable unnecessary roughness penalty by Carolina helped the Packers gain closer to the end zone. With Green Bay leading 13-10, the Panthers attempted to mount a comeback with another scoring drive. However, their quarterback, Bryce Young, was intercepted on a tipped ball, leaving the Packers in a favorable position on the field.
