Packers win after another walk-off field goal, 30-27 against Jaguars

Packers lead Jaguars 13-10 at halftime

An illegal hands to face penalty on Travon Walker gave Green Bay a first down on the first play of the second quarter.

Jarrian Jones picked off Love on an out route as the Jaguars regained possession at the Jacksonville 6. Safety Xavier McKinney got the ball right back with his sixth interception in eight games this season.

Xavier McKinney’s six INTs through the first eight games are the most by a Packers player since Willie Buchanon had six in 1978.

Green Bay turned the takeaway into points, starting with Romeo Doubs drawing a 22-yard defensive pass interference penalty on third-and-7. On the next play, Jacobs punched in a three-yard touchdown to put the Packers ahead 7-0 with 11 minutes, 31 seconds left in the first half.

Jacksonville failed to generate a first down for the fourth straight possession after Bigsby was tackled for a loss of 1 yard on a third-and-2 reception.

Love bought time and rolled just before finding a wide-open Tucker Kraft in the middle of the field. Kraft avoided a tackle to extend the play on a career-long 67-yard catch to the Jacksonville 9.

The drive stalled after an illegal shift on first and Green Bay settled for a 31-yard field goal by Brandon McManus to extend the lead to 10-0 with 6:03 left in the half.

The Jaguars picked up their first first down on a 33-yard pass to Christian Kirks with just under six minutes left in the first half. An 18-yard pass to Brian Thomas Jr. took the Jaguars into the red zone.

Trevor Lawrence knocked the ball in on a designed QB draw to cut the Packers’ lead to 10-7 with 2:37 left in the first half.

Love opened the next sequence with a 12-yard slant to Watson as the first half reached the two-minute warning. On second-and-10, Love placed a perfect ball to Doubs for a 25-yard completion down the Packers’ sideline to the Jacksonville 33.

Green Bay worked the ball to the 28 before Love’s third and fifth pass to Bo Melton went incomplete. McManus initially went out for a 46-yard field goal, but the Jaguars were called for defensive delay of play to give the Packers five yards and a first down.

Green Bay picked up three more yards before returning McManus for a 38-yard field goal, pushing the Packers’ lead to 13-7 with 54 seconds left in the half.

It was announced that Packers safety Evan Williams has a hamstring injury and is questionable to return. Jacksonville stormed back with a 23-yard pass to Parker Washington and a 28-yard pass to Thomas at the Green Bay 21 with 16 seconds left in the half.

Little made a 39-yard field goal to cut the deficit to 13-10 at halftime.
