After scoring a touchdown Thursday night, Packers running back Josh Jacobs put his hands behind his back, which many observers interpreted as an imitation of himself being handcuffed. Which would be in poor taste, considering Jacobs is playing only his second game of the season after being placed on paid leave following a no-contest plea in connection with a domestic violence charge made by his girlfriend.
Jacobs denied doing this.
Jacobs said Thursday night’s game broadcast did not show the full touchdown celebration, which he and teammate Savion Williams had planned and which was inspired by a gospel song.
“They didn’t even get the whole celebration,” Jacobs said. “Damn, that was a fucking second they showed me. But anyway, Savion and I imagined the celebration, if they saw the whole celebration. Basically, last week we said the first celebration, when I score, I’m going to thank God, that’s what I did last week. The second was going to be ‘Break Every Chain’. It’s a gospel song. That was going to be the next celebration. It’s a correlation. The media is going to go with it. serve. They’re going to make it something that wasn’t the case.
Although Jacobs’ paid leave has ended, he remains subject to a potential suspension without pay for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.
