Josh Jacobs fumbled on the goal line to devastate prop bettors and fantasy managers twice in one half

For The Win (usatoday.com) 

Josh Jacobs had an outstanding half of football to open the Green Bay Packers’ Week 2 game Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, running for 128 yards to carry the team with starting quarterback Jordan Love missing in action.

The only thing Jacobs was missing was a touchdown. But it wasn’t for lack of opportunity.

Jacobs nearly scored on a four-yard carry in the second quarter, but he had the ball punched out of his hands just before crossing the goal line. So, instead of putting the Packers up 17-0, it was a turnover in the end zone.

That was the second touchdown Jacobs missed out on after he had a 20-yard score nullified by a holding penalty the previous drive. As you can imagine, people who bet on Jacobs’ anytime TD prop — and those who had Jacobs in their fantasy lineups — weren’t particularly happy about falling short after coming so close twice.

Though the Packers still had another half of football left, fans didn’t seem confident Jacobs would keep getting chances with backup Malik Willis under center.
