The Packers have been monitoring Jacobs since the 5-foot-10, 223-pound running back first sustained a bone bruise and thigh contusion on his second snap during the team's 27-20 win over the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium on Nov. 18.

Christian Watson caught two touchdown passes and Keisean Nixon had the game-sealing interception in the Green Bay Packers' 28-21 win over the Chicago Bears.

Packers DC Jeff Hafley explains why Rashan Gary’s sack drought isn’t the full story as Packers push toward playoff bye positioning.

Here are five takeaways from the Packers' fourth straight triumph:

Other than the Patriots, no NFL team has been as hot as Sean Payton's Broncos, who've won 10 straight games after a 1-2 start. The catalyst for Denver's success has been the play of second-year quarterback Bo Nix and a defense that is fourth in the NFL in points allowed.

Josh Jacobs has been dealing with a knee injury for the past few weeks, and his status against the Broncos is up in the air.

Denver, the current No. 1 seed in the AFC, has won 10 straight but is not the betting favorite against visiting Green Bay on Sunday.
