Watch: Packers RB Josh Jacobs plows through Eagles defense on 31-yard run

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs looked like a bulldozer on an incredible run in Sunday's road wild-card game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

On a 2nd-and-10 before the end of the third quarter, Jacobs barreled through multiple Eagles before being tackled at Philadelphia's one-yard line. He gained 31 yards on the play.

At the start of the fourth quarter, the Packers handed the ball to Jacobs again, and he scored a one-yard touchdown.

Much like Eagles RB Saquon Barkley, Jacobs is a free-agent signing who gave his team a massive spark. In 17 regular-season games, the former Las Vegas Raiders star ranked sixth in the league in carries (301), sixth in rushing yards (1,329) and fourth in rushing TDs (15). He also recently earned his third Pro Bowl nod.

Jacobs is on a four-year, $48M deal with a potential out in 2025. That bodes well for the Packers, as the 26-year-old can continue to play a pivotal role in their offense and take pressure off quarterback Jordan Love.
