The Green Bay Packers got exactly what they wanted as an early Christmas present. Green Bay destroyed New Orleans 34-0 on Monday Night Football, securing a playoff berth in the process. The Packers played so well that they were able to give some players rest during the second half.
Packers fans were worried that Josh Jacobs could have sustained an injury during the blowout win. Thankfully, Jacobs eased everyone's worries with a simple explanation during his postgame remarks.
“Yeah coach told me at half time if we score again that basically I was going to be shut down for the day,” Jacobs told reporters in the locker room.
