Dec. 24 (UPI) -- Josh Jacobs eclipsed 100 yards from scrimmage and the Green Bay Packers defense pitched the first shutout of the 2024 NFL campaign in a dominant win over the New Orleans Saints, clinching the NFC's fourth playoff spot.
The Packers out-gained the Saints 404 to 196 in total yards and scored on six of their first eight drives in the 34-0 triumph Monday at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis.
The Saints gave the ball away twice and never reached the red zone.
"I love the energy of our group," Packers coach Matt LaFleur told reporters.
