Josh Jacobs runs for 3 TDs as Packers roll past short-handed 49ers 38-10
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers earned a measure of revenge against the team that ended their season last year.
It hardly mattered to them that the San Francisco 49ers squad they beat 38-10 on Sunday bore only a passing resemblance to the group that beat the Packers in last season’s NFC divisional playoffs.Josh Jacobs rushed for 106 yards and matched a career high with three touchdowns for the Packers. The 49ers were playing without injured quarterback Brock Purdy, three-time All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams and four-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Nick Bosa, among others.
“It’s the NFL,” said Packers quarterback Jordan Love, who went 13 of 23 for 163 yards and two touchdowns. “They’ve got other good players. We’ve had injuries. Guys are banged up. You’ve got to go find a way to win, no matter who’s out there. It’s tough for them, but we’ll take the win.
”The short-handed 49ers (5-6) turned the ball over three times, committed nine penalties and missed numerous tackles.
“To have those three turnovers, and all three led to touchdowns with 21 points,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said. “You top that with the penalties and stuff, that’s how you get embarrassed like that.”
