Josh Jacobs does it all for the Green Bay Packers, and on Thanksgiving, he even took on the role of team caterer, delivering a hearty feast to his teammates after the game. Following the Packers’ 30-17 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Thanksgiving Day, Jacobs joined quarterback Jordan Love and linebacker Isaiah McDuffie for a postgame interview on NBC.
The trio was in high spirits, celebrating their big win while enjoying the traditional turkey leg—a staple of Thanksgiving football. As they chatted on the field, each player took a bite, enjoying the fruits of their hard-fought victory.
As the interview wound down, Jacobs had his sights set on more than just the turkey leg. With a smile on his face, he made a move for the entire Thanksgiving feast that had been set up for the occasion—a full plate complete with the whole turkey and all the fixings.
With a confident grin, Jacobs picked up the massive spread and declared, “Then we gone!” as he humorously carried the ginormous meal across the same field where he had just carried the football 19 times for 43 yards and a touchdown. He also contributed four catches for 74 yards, showcasing his versatility.
The moment was met with laughter and cheers from those watching, and even NBC’s Mike Tirico got in on the fun. From the broadcast booth, Tirico quipped, “We trust his hands,” as Love and McDuffie trailed behind Jacobs, following him with the full Thanksgiving meal as he made his way toward the locker room. Tirico continued, “Follow the guy who has been carrying the ball all year.” It was a perfect blend of humor and admiration for Jacobs’ dedication and leadership on and off the field.
Jacobs’ gesture was a testament to his character and his commitment to his teammates. After a tough game, he recognized that everyone back in the locker room had to be hungry and wanted to share the moment—and the meal—with his fellow Packers. It was a classic display of camaraderie and the kind of spirit that has helped define the Packers this season.
