The Green Bay Packers took care of business against the New Orleans Saints and clinched a playoff spot. While they won’t get the gift of a division championship this season, Josh Jacobs made sure his offensive line was well-recognized for their part in his season.
It is a normal occurrence for quarterbacks and running backs to get gifts for their offensive lines. Jacobs signed a four-year, $48 million deal with the Packers in the offseason. He got custom diamond pendants for each of his offensive linemen from ZoFrost & Co. He posted a video of the jewelry on his Instagram story.
Jacobs has 1,216 yards this season. He sat out most of the second half against the Saints after the Packers had essentially put the game away. The Packers became the first team to shut out an opponent this season.
Packers quarterback Jordan Love will have stiff competition if he wants to give his offensive line the best gift they receive this holiday season. Jacobs and the offensive line have been critical to the Packers’ success in 2024. When Jordan Love was out with injuries, the Packers leaned heavily on their run game.
Jacobs has a career-high 13 rushing touchdowns. As the temperature drops Jacobs is only getting tougher to bring down. If the Packers want to make a deep run in the playoffs, it will be behind the legs of Jacobs and the stellar offensive line.
The Packers will take on the Minnesota Vikings next Sunday, seeking their 12th win.
