Josh Jacobs runs for 3 TDs as Packers roll past short-handed 49ers 38-10

Associated Press  

GREEN BAY, Wis. — 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. “It’s the NFL,” said Packers quarterback Jordan Love, who went 13 of 23 for 163 yards and two touchdowns. “You top that with the penalties and stuff, that’s how you get embarrassed like that.” A couple of Packers who weren’t with Green Bay last season played major roles. But not only that, man, being around these guys and seeing how hungry they are, seeing how much of pros they are on a day-to-day basis and how much it means to them, man, it makes me want to play harder, it makes me want to give everything I have.” Xavier McKinney broke up a fourth-down pass to end one 49ers scoring threat and had a 48-yard interception return to set up Jacobs’ second touchdown.
