The tight game turned in the ninth end, when Canada was able to score three for an 8-6 lead that Mouat and the British rink could not overcome in the 10th.
Jacobs was the last Canadian men’s skip to win Olympic gold, taking top spot at the 2014 Sochi Olympics in Russia.
It’s Mouat’s second straight Olympic silver after falling to Sweden’s Niklas Edin four years ago in Beijing.
Canada’s Brett Gallant now has gold to go with the bronze he won in 2022. Teammates Ben Hebert and Marc Kennedy won gold at the Vancouver Games in 2010.
