GREEN BAY – Packers running back Josh Jacobs is one of the NFL's six nominees for the FedEx Air & Ground Player of the Week for Week 6.
Fans are encouraged to vote for Jacobs here.
In Green Bay's 27-18 home win over the Bengals, Jacobs compiled 150 yards from scrimmage, with 18 carries for 93 yards and five receptions for 57 yards. He also scored two touchdowns, both rushing. And he wasn't even feeling well, dealing with a case of stomach flu that had him vomiting before and during the game.
The rushing TDs ran Jacobs' total to 10 in his last seven games at Lambeau Field, with at least one in seven straight home games, the longest such rushing TD streak in team history (since 1933), per Elias.
He also reached 150 yards from scrimmage for the second straight game, after posting 157 at Dallas in Week 4. He's the first Packers player to accomplish that since RB Ahman Green in 2003. He also topped 40 receiving yards for a third straight game for the first time in his career.
The other nominees for the league's award are:
Kansas City QB Patrick Mahomes (22-of-30, 257 yards, three TDs, 133.8 rating, plus 31 rushing yards and TD in win over Detroit)
New England QB Drake Maye (18-of-26 for 261 yards, three TDs, 140.1 rating in win over New Orleans)
Carolina RB Rico Dowdle (239 yards from scrimmage, TD catch in win over Dallas)
Giants RB Cam Skattebo (110 yards from scrimmage, three rushing TDs in win over Philadelphia)
Seattle WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba (eight catches for 162 yards and TD in win over Jacksonville).
