Josh Jacobs explains TD celebration's connection to gospel song

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs scored a touchdown in the second quarter against the Carolina Panthers on October 30 at Lambeau Field. Following the score, Jacobs performed a celebration by placing his hands behind his back, which some perceived as a reference to his legal issues from earlier this year. Jacobs clarified that it was a tribute to the gospel song "Break Every Chain" and expressed frustration over the misunderstanding. He emphasized that the complete celebration was not fully captured on camera. Jacobs finished the game with 39 rushing yards and two touchdowns, marking his second appearance this season after being on the commissioner exempt list.
