Packers RB Josh Jacobs will gut it out in their Week 15 clash against the Denver Broncos as he is expected to play through his knee injury.
When Jacobs crossed the goal line on a 2-yard touchdown run with 3:32 remaining, he had pushed his game totals to 86 yards on 20 carries, and Green Bay was on its way to a 28-21 victory that put the Packers into first place in the NFC North.
The Green Bay Packers defeated the Chicago Bears 28-21, highlighting the teamwork between Christian Watson and Josh Jacobs. Watson scored two touchdowns but expressed a desire to improve his blocking for running back Jacobs.

The Packers got clutch plays on both sides of the ball late after letting a 14-3 lead slip away, escaping with a win.
