You're probably wondering who that lady is and why it says “Beans, greens, potatoes, tomatoes”. It's from this viral Thanksgiving song:
A true classic and Jacobs is clearly a fan. Things aren't going so well for the Lions at the moment though in their rivalry clash with Green Bay, losing 23-6 heading into halftime. Jared Goff has already fumbled the football twice while Jordan Love is absolutely cooking for the Packers.
Jacobs meanwhile has three tackles thus far and continues to be an important piece for the Lions' defense. He has 40 total tackles and three interceptions in 2023. He's played in nine games. Jacobs also had an awesome Thanksgiving turkey giveaway last week, paying it forward to the ones in need:

NFL Thanksgiving is a yearly tradition across America where families enjoy food and drinks while watching their football teams play. Lions-Packers has kicked off the slate but we have a couple of intriguing games later on, with the Washington Commanders facing the Dallas Cowboys before the San Francisco 49ers vs Seattle Seahawks in the evening.
The Lions are currently on top of the NFC North with an 8-2 record and look to be on their way to a divisional title. But, losing in Week 12 isn't exactly ideal, especially after their ugly win on Sunday against the Chicago Bears.
Marlon Tabb, who makes cleats for several Lions players, created these kicks for Jacobs. Check out Tabb's IG page to see more of his designs.
