Packers End Losing Streak with 27-20 Win Over Giants, Jordan Love Throws Two Touchdowns
The Green Bay Packers have finally broken their two-game losing streak, thanks to a thrilling comeback victory over the New York Giants. The Packers, led by backup quarterback Jordan Love, came from behind to defeat the Giants 27-20 at MetLife Stadium.
Love's return from a shoulder injury proved to be a game-changer for the Packers. Despite completing just 13 of 24 passes for 173 yards, he managed to throw two crucial touchdown passes to help his team secure the win. His first touchdown was a beautiful 32-yard completion to rookie Savion Williams under pressure on third-and-10, while his second score came in the form of a 17-yard throw to Christian Watson with just over four minutes remaining.
The Packers' victory was not without its challenges, however. Starting running back Josh Jacobs was forced out of the game early in the second quarter with a knee injury, and the team struggled to move the ball effectively on the ground throughout the contest. Despite this, Green Bay's offense managed to find some success, including a touchdown run from backup Malik Willis.
The Giants, meanwhile, struggled to contain the Packers' offense. Starting quarterback Jameis Winston was nearly picked off multiple times in the first half and finished with a quarterback-sneak touchdown and a game-ending fumble. Devin Singletary also rushed for two touchdowns, but it wasn't enough to secure a victory for New York.
The Packers' defense had its own share of struggles, however, allowing a 15-play, 85-yard scoring drive in the first quarter that put the Giants up 20-19. Nevertheless, Green Bay's unit managed to hold on down the stretch, thanks in part to an interception by Evan Williams in the end zone with just over a minute remaining.
The Packers' victory marked their sixth win of the season, while the Giants fell to 2-9. The teams will meet again next week, as the Packers host the Minnesota Vikings and the Giants visit the Detroit Lions.
