Packers vs. Texans, Week 7 Game Discussion, Second Half

The Green Bay Packers are probably a bit lucky that they are only five points behind after the first half they just played. Jordan Love threw two interceptions and the special teams unit muffed a punt, leading to the Texans’ 16 as they held a 19-14 lead at the break.

The Packers’ two touchdowns came on back-to-back drives early in the second quarter, one of which started on their own 8-yard line. Both came with great throws off Love’s arm, one to Tucker Kraft and one to Dontayvion Wicks. However, Love’s two picks cost the Packers dearly, especially the second one that left the team up by one point looking to increase their lead with a few minutes left in the half.

Meanwhile, Green Bay’s defense has done its job limiting C.J. Stroud and the Texans’ passing game. Houston has just 30 total net passing yards, but their running game has picked up chunks of yards, with Joe Mixon racking up 81 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries. In fact, Houston only has one scoring drive that didn’t follow a Packers turnover, and that instead came off a long kickoff and required a long field goal to score those points.

The Packers will be on the defensive to start the second half, so join us here to see if they can stop giving away the football and get back to their winning ways.
