Blood on Lambeau: The Cowboys’ dirty play has sidelined Josh Jacobs
A Moment That Sparked Outrage
The 40–40 overtime thriller between the Packers and Cowboys didn’t just end in controversy over play-calling—it left Green Bay fans furious after Josh Jacobs was forced to get stitches on his knee mid-game following what many are calling a cheap shot from Dallas.

On his way into the endzone, Jacobs had already crossed the line when a Cowboys defender came flying in. Instead of pulling up, the defender’s cleat dug straight into Jacobs’ knee, splitting the skin and leaving blood soaking through his sock. Lambeau Field went silent in shock.
Packers Fans Explode – Was It Intentional?
The reaction was immediate:
-
Packers Nation erupted on social media, branding it a “dirty, unnecessary hit.”
Analysts reviewing the tape argued the contact was avoidable since Jacobs was already in for the score.
Former Packers players chimed in: “That wasn’t football—that was an attempt to hurt someone.”
What should’ve been a heroic touchdown instead turned into a flashpoint for accusations of bad faith play.
Short-Term Heroics, Long-Term Risk
Jacobs, stitched up on the sideline, returned to the game—cementing his status as a warrior—but the risk of re-injury is high. If Green Bay loses him for any stretch of the season, the Cowboys won’t just be remembered for a tie—they’ll be remembered as the team that derailed the Packers’ season.
A Question for the NFL
This incident raises the bigger issue: Will the league take action against dirty plays, or let them slide once again? For Packers fans, the answer matters almost as much as Jacobs’ health.
