Overview
- Jordan Love briefly exited in the first quarter with a left-shoulder injury after a hit from Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, returned in the second, and finished with two touchdown passes including a 17-yard go-ahead strike to Christian Watson with 4:02 left.
- Backup Malik Willis capably filled in during Love’s absence, engineering a touchdown drive capped by a 1-yard pass to Watson and sparking debate among local media about using him in occasional packages.
- Starting running back Josh Jacobs was ruled out with a knee injury after seven carries for 40 yards, and Matt LaFleur said the team is concerned as Jacobs’ status remains uncertain.
- Emanuel Wilson stepped in at running back with an 11-yard rushing touchdown and later caught Love’s two-point conversion, helping offset a day marred by multiple drops and two missed extra points by Lucas Havrisik.
- Green Bay’s defense secured the win with Evan Williams’ end-zone interception in the final minute and a Micah Parsons strip-sack on the last play, snapping a two-game slide and moving the Packers to 6-3-1.
