Packers vs Broncos: Josh Jacobs’ Knee, Run-Game Concerns & How Many Points Win It?

The biggest storyline heading into Packers–Broncos isn’t Jordan Love — it’s Josh Jacobs’ knee. After learning Jacobs is dealing with swelling and limited range of motion from a deep bone bruise, Jen, Gabe & Chewy debate whether Green Bay should sit him this week to avoid worsening the injury. Chewy breaks down the medical side (“doctor hat” activated), explaining why swelling and fluid around the knee late in the season are red flags and why Jacobs may need protection from himself. Gabe argues the counterpoint: this is a crucial stretch, and without Jacobs, beating the Broncos and Bears becomes significantly harder. The crew also breaks down the Broncos’ top-ranked defense, which is No. 1 in the NFL in both yards per rushing attempt and passing attempt allowed. They discuss: • Why Denver can sit in two-high shells all game • Why the tackles may matter more this week than the running backs • How Green Bay must reach 21 points to win — and whether they can • Why the run game is essential to beating Cover-2 looks They compare the Bears’ offense to Denver’s, assess the Packers’ chances without Jacobs, and talk through realistic playoff and division paths depending on how the next few weeks go. And in classic JGC fashion, the hour features a hilariously chaotic detour into the Top 8 at 8 touchdown scorers, shoe mishaps, and family frustrations — all before returning to whether Jacobs should play or rest. 🎧 Packers injury talk, game-planning strategy, and signature Jen, Gabe & Chewy chaos — every weekday on ESPN Milwaukee.
