After scoring a touchdown on Thursday night, Packers running back Josh Jacobs put his hands behind his back, which many observers interpreted as mimicking himself in handcuffs. Which would be in poor taste, given that Jacobs is playing only his second game of the season after he was put on paid leave following a no contest plea in connection with a domestic violence accusation brought by his girlfriend.<\/p>\n
Jacobs denied that\u2019s what he was doing.<\/p>\n
Jacobs said the broadcast of Thursday night\u2019s game didn\u2019t show his full touchdown celebration, which he and teammate Savion Williams planned, and which was inspired by a gospel song.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey didn\u2019t even get the whole celebration,\u201d Jacobs said. \u201cShit, it was fuckin\u2019 one second that they just showed me. But anyways, me and Savion came up with the celebration, if they would have seen the whole celebration. Basically, last week, we said the first celebration, when I score, I was gonna thank God, that\u2019s what I did last week. Second was going to be \u2018Break Every Chain.\u2019 It\u2019s a gospel song. That was gonna be the next celebration. It\u2019s a correlation. The media is gonna run with it. They\u2019re gonna make it something that it wasn\u2019t. But it is what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although Jacobs\u2019 paid leave is over, he remains subject to a potential unpaid suspension for violating the NFL\u2019s personal conduct policy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After scoring a touchdown on Thursday night, Packers running back Josh Jacobs put his hands behind his back,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":899956,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[99],"class_list":["post-899955","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/899955","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=899955"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/899955\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/899956"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=899955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=899955"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=899955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
