Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is on the verge of setting an NFL record he'd rather avoid.
The veteran running back has caught 197 passes in his five-year NFL career but scored zero touchdowns. If he snags five more passes without hitting pay dirt, Jacobs would break former running back Gerald Riggs' record of 201 catches without a receiving touchdown. A three-time Pro Bowler, Riggs played seven seasons with the Atlanta Falcons (1982-1987) and three with Washington (1989-1991), where he won a Super Bowl in his final season.
Jacobs and Riggs are the only two players in NFL history with more than 150 career catches without a touchdown.
Jacob's new quarterback, Jordan Love, has seen the ignominious stat his RB is approaching and plans on snapping the streak before he breaks the record.
