When the Green Bay Packers show up to Lumen Field on Sunday to face the Seattle Seahawks, they’ll bring one of the league’s top running backs with them.
Josh Jacobs is fueling Green Bay’s offense in his first season with the Packers, helping the team reach a 9-4 record late in the season. With Jacobs’ production, the Packers have the league’s seventh-ranked scoring offense (26.8 points per game).
“They are run-heavy,” Seahawks defensive coordinator Aden Durde said on Thursday. “I think that allows them to be efficient because when they run the ball, they keep themselves in front of the sticks and they kind of control the narrative of how they play the game.
