GREEN BAY — Josh Jacobs wasn’t ready to proclaim the Green Bay Packers’ running game fixed. The veteran running back and team captain knew that while one half of one game can be encouraging, making a grand proclamation that all is well would be a mistake.
That’s why Jacobs wasn’t panicking early in the year when the production wasn’t great — instead, he coolly emphasized that it takes time for the back and the blocking unit to jell — and why he was looking at other factors in his productivity following last Sunday night’s 40-40 tie with the Dallas Cowboys.
“I’m just trying to do what I can,” the Pro Bowl running back said with a shrug. “Sometimes the game is going to be like that.”
It’s not for a lack of trying, as Jacobs led the NFL in rushing attempts (80) through the first four weeks
