Packers star RB Josh Jacobs reacts immediately after being ejected in loss to EaglesGreen Bay, Wisconsin – 14/11/2025.
The atmosphere at Lambeau Field after the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles was already heavy, but the real tension erupted when Josh Jacobs — the Packers’ star running back — walked into the postgame press conference with a rare look of anger in his eyes. Being removed from the game in the third quarter for “strategic reasons,” as announced on the broadcast, immediately stirred controversy, and Jacobs did not hide how he felt.
According to ESPN sources, Jacobs learned he was taken out not because of injury or snap management, but due to a direct coaching decision following a series of unproductive runs. That revelation set him off as soon as he entered the tunnel. “I go out there to fight,” Jacobs said firmly. “I’m out there to fight, to push this team forward, and if I’m taken out just because of a few plays that didn’t go as planned, then something isn’t right. I didn’t come to Green Bay to stand on the sideline watching the game slip away without being able to help this team.”
A clip of Jacobs slamming his gloves to the ground as he left the field went viral within minutes. Many Packers fans sympathized with him, believing the team had “abandoned” their lead running back while there was still plenty of time left in the game. Others openly criticized the overly conservative play-calling, a lingering issue throughout the season.
Head coach Matt LaFleur tried to ease the tension after the game, but his explanation only fueled more questions. “It was our decision based on the flow of the game,” LaFleur said. “There’s nothing personal here.” Yet those who witnessed Jacobs’ visible frustration as he was pulled out insisted the situation was far more complicated.
Inside the locker room, several Packers players were surprised by the coaching decision. One anonymous player told ESPN: “Jacobs is a warrior. He brings energy to all of us. Taking him off the field… that’s not what we expected.”
As for Jacobs, the 27-year-old star did not hold back when asked if he was disappointed with how things unfolded. “I never blame my teammates,” he said. “But I want to fight until the final second. That’s why I chose the Packers. I never want to feel like I’m being taken out of a game for reasons I can’t understand.”
The loss to the Eagles added pressure to Green Bay, but Jacobs’ reaction became the true flashpoint. The Packers now face more than just on-field problems — they must calm one of the most influential voices in the locker room before things spiral out of control.
