Packers RB Josh Jacobs finally caught his first career TD pass in Sunday's win over the Texans. That marked one of his 5 receptions for 16 yards. Jacobs finished second on the team in catches and scored from 8 yards out in the middle of the third quarter.

Jacobs continued his expanded lead over No. 2 Emanuel Wilson. His 67% snap share and 57% route rate lined up with his usage the previous two weeks. And Jacobs' 15% target share for the game easily marked a season high.

Jacobs added 76 yards on 12 carries, a season-best 6.3 yards per rush.

Jacobs' carry share opened the game closer than usual. He garnered just six first-half attempts vs. Wilson's four. But Jacobs also pulled away to handle 60% of the team's rushes by the end of the game.

That actually marked a slightly larger share than the previous two weeks.

Jacobs gets a nice matchup with Jacksonville in Week 8 before a tougher rushing spot against Detroit and then a Week 10 bye.
