Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs faced backlash from NFL fans following an apparent handcuffs celebration after scoring a touchdown against the Carolina Panthers on October 29, 2026, at Lambeau Field.
Jacobs, wearing number 8, rushed for a touchdown in the second half against Panthers linebacker Bobby Okereke (58). After the score, he appeared to mimic being handcuffed, a gesture that drew immediate criticism on social media.
Fans described the celebration as "disgusting" and questioned its appropriateness, with some calling for the NFL to review the gesture. Social media reactions included phrases such as "No Shame, No Guilt" and "He's Disgusting." The Packers have not commented on the incident.
The game took place in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Jacobs has been a key contributor for the Packers this season.
