Packers Edge Giants 27-20 as Jordan Love Returns to Lift Late Rally

Injuries at running back and kicker keep Green Bay's lineup in flux after the Week 11 win.

Overview

  • Jordan Love briefly exited with a left-shoulder injury, returned in the second quarter, and went 13-of-24 for 173 yards with two touchdown passes including the late go-ahead throw to Christian Watson.
  • Backup Malik Willis tossed a touchdown to Watson while Love was being evaluated, and Emanuel Wilson found the end zone after taking over for an injured Josh Jacobs.
  • Josh Jacobs left early with a knee injury as Matt LaFleur voiced concern, and further testing is scheduled Monday with multiple reports indicating initial optimism that he avoided significant damage.
  • With Brandon McManus out due to a quadriceps issue, Lucas Havrisik handled kicks and missed two extra points, and McManus had previously disputed an on-air claim questioning his health.
  • Green Bay improved to 6-3-1 as safety Evan Williams sealed the game with an end-zone interception of Jameis Winston, and the Packers also held out receiver Malik Heath by coach’s decision.
