GREEN BAY, Wis. -- To running backs, YAC means yards after contact. For Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs it means much more.

"For me, man, it's just not giving up on a play," he said. "It's trying to go out there and give everything that I have and never feeling like I didn't try."

In his first nine games with the Packers, that much has been obvious. He ranks second in the NFL behind only the bruising Derrick Henry in rushing yards after contact, according to ESPN Research, but Henry's Baltimore Ravens haven't had their bye yet, so he has one more game under his belt.

But again, it's not about the numbers.
