Watch: Josh Jacobs scores first touchdown with Packers, gives GB early 7-0 lead over Rams

It took RB Josh Jacobs 85 touches to score his first touchdown with the Green Bay Packers.

It took five weeks, but Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs finally has his first touchdown with his new team. Jacobs bounced outside and scored a 2-yard touchdown run to finish 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.

Jacobs had 84 touches without scoring a touchdown to start the 2024 season.

On touch No. 85, this happened:

With the hole plugged up inside, Jacobs bounced the run outside to his right and out-raced the end zone for the touchdown. The score was upheld on video review.

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

Here’s the play:

The 53-yarder might be the catch of the year so far for the Packers.

Through two drives, Jacobs has five carries for 27 yards and a score. Reed has turned 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.
