Jordan Love Returns From Shoulder Scare to Lead Packers Past Giants 27-20

Injuries cloud Green Bay’s win, with Josh Jacobs ruled out by a knee issue and Jordan Love’s left shoulder set for further evaluation.

Overview

  • Love briefly exited in the first quarter after a hit to his left (non-throwing) shoulder, was listed questionable, then returned early in the second quarter.
  • The Packers quarterback finished with two touchdown passes, including a 17-yard go-ahead strike to Christian Watson with 4:02 remaining.
  • Backup Malik Willis replaced Love for one series and capped the drive with a 1-yard touchdown pass to Watson after a 17-yard scramble conversion.
  • Starting running back Josh Jacobs suffered a knee injury in the first half and was ruled out just after halftime following 7 carries for 40 yards; Emanuel Wilson later scored on an 11-yard run.
  • Green Bay snapped a two-game skid to move to 6-3-1, while the Giants fell to 2-9 in Mike Kafka’s debut with Jameis Winston starting; a late Evan Williams interception sealed the result.
