Packers’ Josh Jacobs ends NFL record streak with first receiving touchdown

Josh Jacobs scored his first career touchdown on Sunday in the Green Bay Packers’ game against the Houston Texans. Yes, you read that right.

In his sixth season in the NFL, Jacobs finally overcame the one obstacle he hadn’t yet overcome. The running back needed 211 receptions to score a touchdown, which is the longest streak in NFL history. Jacobs no longer holds the active title thanks to quarterback Jordan Love’s eight-yard pass that sent him into the end zone.

Jacobs also celebrated in the best way possible, doing a Lambeau Leap in the crowd. His Packers teammates congratulated him shortly thereafter, knowing this was a significant touchdown for Jacobs.

No other active NFL player is close to the streak Jacobs has maintained. It’s possible his record will remain at the top of the history books for some time, but at least he won’t continue to add to the drought now.
