The Green Bay Packers are going up against the Miami Dolphins on Thanksgiving Night. Green Bay will welcome Miami into Lambeau Field for a late November mid-west game. The temperatures for the game call for around 29 degrees as a high that day. It will certainly be a culture shock for a team from South Miami.
Running the ball when it is cold is an offense’s best friend. Josh Jacobs is once again proving he is one of the best in the business at doing just that.
However, he had to talk about his health after the big win over San Francisco.

As the Green Bay Packers beat the San Francisco 49ers 38-10 on Sunday, star running back Josh Jacobs put on a monster performance. On 26 carries, Jacobs rushed for 106 yards and three touchdowns for Green Bay.
He was an absolute workhorse, after the game, he had this to say:
The last time Jacobs scored three rushing touchdowns in a game was in Week 7 of the 2022 season against the Houston Texans when he was still with the Las Vegas Raiders. The veteran running back also had 143 yards on 20 carries.
As for this season with the Packers, it was only the third time Jacobs ran for 100-plus yards and carried the ball 25-plus times.
According to Ryan Wood of USA TODAY, Jacobs said after the game that he told the Packers offensive line he only had one play before scoring his last touchdown because he was about to leave the field.
Before last TD, Josh Jacobs told #Packers line he had one play to get TD, because he was about to leave field. What was cramping?
“Everything,” Jacobs said.
Asked him if he’s ready to take 26 more carries in 4 days.
“If needed be. If need be, I’m going to figure it out.”

The star running back was asked by reporters what was cramping and Jacobs responded with, “Everything.” Wood asked if Jacobs was ready to take 26 carries in four days against the Miami Dolphins.
The veteran running back said, “If needed be. If need be, I’m going to figure it out.” Given that Jacobs has only gone over the 20-25 carry threshold three times this season, it wouldn’t be a shock to see the Packers mix in Emanuel Wilson/Chris Brooks more on Thanksgiving night.
Wilson had nine carries for 41 yards, while Brooks added four for 11 yards in the blowout win on Sunday.
Here is a look at Jacobs’ stats so far this season:
