Packers highlight: Xavier McKinney’s interception sets up Josh Jacobs’ TD against Jaguars

The two prized free agents for the Green Bay Packers teamed up to give Matt LaFleur’s team a 7-0 lead in the first half of Sunday’s showdown with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Xavier McKinney’s interception – his sixth of the season – set up Josh Jacobs’ three-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter.

The Packers lead 7-0 thanks to the former Giant and former Raider.

After Jordan Love was intercepted in the red zone to end a scoring opportunity, McKinney immediately returned the favor, picking up Trevor Lawrence’s misfire. After a 21-yard pass interference penalty drawn by Romeo Doubs extended the ensuing drive, Jacobs burst through a gap into the end zone to give the Packers the lead.

Here’s the intercept:

Here’s the touchdown:

McKinney leads the NFL in interceptions. After ending a two-game drought, McKinney now has a career-high six picks in just eight games. Jacobs scored his third touchdown as a Packer. He scored his first career touchdown last week.
