Love Leads Packers Past Giants 27-20 After Shoulder Scare

Injuries alongside special-teams questions temper the boost from Green Bay’s skid-stopping win.

Overview

  • Jordan Love returned in the second quarter after a left-shoulder evaluation and later hit Christian Watson for the go-ahead touchdown with 4:02 remaining.
  • Backup Malik Willis filled in during Love’s absence and threw a touchdown pass, and Emanuel Wilson added a rushing score.
  • Starting running back Josh Jacobs left with a first-half knee injury, was ruled out after halftime, and Matt LaFleur said the team is concerned about his status.
  • With Brandon McManus sidelined by a quadriceps issue, fill-in Lucas Havrisik missed two extra points as Green Bay’s season-long kicking woes persisted; McManus had previously disputed a broadcast claim about his health.
  • Safety Evan Williams sealed the victory with an end-zone interception in the final minute as the Packers moved to 6-3-1, with WR Malik Heath inactive by coach’s decision.
