Green Bay increased its lead to 17-0 midway through the second quarter before the Niners tacked on their first points.
Jacobs ended up having a dominant game with over 100 yards and three touchdowns.
Due to his contributions, Green Bay led 24-7 in the third quarter. San Francisco kicked a field goal and trailed 24-10 as the fourth quarter got started.
Jacobs’ third and final TD came with four minutes left in the game and gave the Packers a 31-10 lead.
After a turnover on downs, Love threw his second passing TD of the game on a jump ball to Malik Heath.
The Packers scored 14 unanswered in the fourth. Love gave a jump ball to Malik Heath late in the quarter as the cherry on top of a great win.

With the 38-10 win, Green Bay improved to 8-3 on the season. That’s good for the seventh-best record in the NFL.
Unfortunately, the Packers play in the toughest division in the league in 2024. Both the Lions (10-1) and Vikings (9-2) sit ahead of Green Bay in the NFC North.
With that said, all they can do is win the games in front of them. Although San Francisco has struggled this season, they’re still a good team.
The week 12 win could prove to be massively important down the road as the Packers look to secure a spot in the postseason.
About Jordan Love
Before his time in the league, the Bakersfield, California native played at USU from 2016-19. During his time with the Aggies, Love threw for 8,600 yards, 60 touchdowns, and 29 interceptions with a completion rate of 61 percent.
In 2020, the Packers traded up to select Love with the No. 26 overall pick in the NFL Draft.
During his rookie campaign, the former USU standout was inactive for each of Green Bay’s games.
Love saw limited action in his second and third seasons with the Packers and continued to serve as the backup to four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers. Following the 2022 season, the Packers traded Rodgers to the New York Jets. The Rodgers trade paved the way for Love to be Green Bay’s QB1 in 2023.
