The Green Bay Packers have secured a spot in the playoffs. Three of their players were selected to the Pro Bowl in 2025. Among them was one of their offensive superstars.
The Packers signed Josh Jacobs to a four-year, $48 million after moving on from Aaron Jones. Jacobs has been a key part of the Packers’ offense in his first year with the team and a huge part of their overall success.
This is Jacobs’ third career Pro Bowl nod, but it is his first time representing the Packers and resultingly his first time representing the NFC. He has 1,285 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns this season. He has 340 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown as well.
When Jordan Love was injured the Packers leaned heavily on Jacobs. He has been worth every penny and will be a big reason the Packers will be able to compete with any team in the playoffs. Jacobs, Rashan Gary and Xavier McKinney were all named to the Pro Bowl this year. Unlike Jacobs, McKinney and Gary are first-time selections.
The Packers’ first-round opponent is yet to be decided, but it will be either the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Philadelphia Eagles or Los Angeles Rams. The Packers have not played the Buccaneers this year, but Jacobs found success against the Rams and Eagles this year. Jacobs had 104 total yards against the Eagles in week one in Brazil. He had 94 total yards and a touchdown in Los Angeles.
Jacobs has seemingly gotten better as the temperature drops. Playing in Philadelphia in January could be a good matchup for him.
