Brandon Jacobs insists he feels better now than he has late in any previous season. The Giants finished dead last in the NFL in rushing offense this year, but Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw combined for 155 yards on 28 carries (5.5 YPC) in last week's win over the Falcons. With Bradshaw nursing a back injury, Jacobs could end up leading the attack at Green Bay.

Brandon Jacobs rushed 14 times for 92 yards and caught two passes for eight more as the Giants whipped the Falcons in the Wild Card round. A Falcons run defense that collapsed down the stretch let Jacobs break into the open field far too often, and he is incredibly difficult to tackle one-on-one. The carry split against Atlanta was 14-14 between Jacobs and Bradshaw, and they combined to average 5.54 yards per rush attempt. The Giants will give the Packers a very tough challenge in the Divisional round if their rushing offense comes to play like they did on Sunday.

Brandon Jacobs rushed seven times for 16 yards in New York's Week 17 win over the Cowboys. Jacobs did not make a catch, and also put the ball on the ground. The Giants were able to recover it, however. Jacobs was held to two yards or fewer on four of his seven totes, and stopped short on both a 3rd-and-1 and 4th-and-1. He ends 2011 with 152 rushes for 671 yards, 15 catches for 128 yards and eight total touchdowns. This is the first time since 2006 Jacobs has posted less than 800 yards on the ground. Due $4.4 million in what will be his age-30 season in 2012, Jacobs may have to take a pay-cut to remain in New York.

Brandon Jacobs rushed seven times for 42 yards and added one reception for 13 yards against the Jets in Week 16. The numbers don't jump off the page, but Jacobs set the tone by breaking four tackles for a first down on the one reception while adding a 28-yard run. He and Rex Ryan got into a confrontation after the game, with Jacobs telling the Jets coach, "It's time to shut up, fat boy." Jacobs is just a flex option for Week 17 versus Dallas.

Brandon Jacobs rushed eight times for 33 yards in the Giants' Week 15 loss to the Redskins. Ahmad Bradshaw's foot was healthy and he made curfew this week. So Jacobs was a mere change-of-pace player, seeing no targets in the passing game and getting just a couple series to himself. Jacobs won't be a strong flex option against the Jets next week.

Brandon Jacobs is not listed on the Giants' Week 15 injury report. Jacobs turned back the clock in last week's win over the Cowboys, running for 101 yards on 19 carries. His balky hamstring came out of the game fine. He's in line to share the load with Ahmad Bradshaw in Sunday's game against the Redskins.

Brandon Jacobs carried the ball 19 times for a season-high 101 yards and two touchdowns in New York's Week 14 win over the Cowboys. The 100-yard game was Jacobs' first since Week 14 last season. With Ahmad Bradshaw benched for the first half for a violation of team rules, Jacobs ran wild, taking the ball for 62 yards and a score on 13 carries. He received just six second-half totes as the Giants rotated backs, but still managed to tack on 39 more yards and another touchdown. Revived since his backfield mate returned, Jacobs should be a high-end flex play against the Redskins' middling run defense in Week 15.

Brandon Jacobs (hamstring) returned to Giants practice Friday and is listed as probable for Week 14. Jacobs was given Wednesday and Thursday's practices off, but he'll be ready to go as a TD-heavy league option against the Cowboys. In Ahmad Bradshaw's (foot) Week 13 return, Jacobs received only eight touches. Bradshaw got 13, was the Giants' starter, and saw significantly more playing time despite inferior stats.

Brandon Jacobs (hamstring) was not practicing with the team Thursday. Jacobs did some light drills inside with trainers as he protects his tender hamstring. His status for Sunday night's showdown with the Cowboys is unclear.

Brandon Jacobs is on the Giants' Week 14 injury report with a hamstring strain. Jacobs was spotted with his leg wrapped during last week's loss to the Packers, but made it through the game. He'll likely end up limited in practice this week before suiting up for Sunday night's showdown with the Cowboys. Still, Jacobs is trending down in a big way with Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) healthy.
