GREEN BAY, Wis. – With the Green Bay Packers facing a bit of an emergency on Sunday in Jacksonville, they did the only sensible thing.
They broke the glass, grabbed the fire extinguisher in the No. 8 jersey and put out the fire.
It was moments like the second half of the 30-27 victory over the Jaguars that show why the Packers signed Josh Jacobs in free agency. And why they’ll lean on Jacobs, who came out of Sunday’s game with a relatively clean bill of health, against the powerhouse Detroit Lions on Sunday at Lambeau Field.
