Giants beat the Packers 27-22 in their debut
The shocking loss to the Giants in London came about after the Packers allowed a sizable lead to slip:
After taking leads of 17-3 and 20-10 over the New York Giants in the first half of Sunday’s game in London, the Green Bay Packers showed up to be well on their way to a 4-1 record.
Everything changed when the second half began and the ball was kicked off.
With a victory of 27-22, the Giants ruin the Packers’ international debut:
London, England (AP) The Green Bay Packers’ debut abroad was ruined by Saquon Barkley and Daniel Jones.
By rapidly pulling away from the New York Giants, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers established the tone.
However, Green Bay’s first regular-season game outside of the United States was ruined on Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium by a comeback victory (27-22), which was led by Jones and Barkley.
We were conscious of our disadvantage in the game, as you are aware, but I believe our team is motivated, Jones said. To play for one another is what drives us.
In the fourth quarter, to finish New York’s comeback, Barkley took a direct snap and ran for a 2-yard touchdown.
The Packers were then moved to the 6-yard line by Rodgers, but with just over a minute to go, safety Xavier McKinney caught his pass on a fourth-and-1 scenario at the point of attack.
The Packers (3-2) recovered the ball and prepared an urgent pass, but Rodgers was sacked by Oshane Ximines at the Green Bay 29 and fumbled as time expired. This was after Giants punter Jamie Gillan, aka the “Scottish Hammer,” ran out of the end zone for a safety.
As Jones, who was playing with a sprained ankle, led three scoring drives, the Giants (4-1) managed to overcome a 20-10 deficit by scoring 17 unanswered points in the second half. The Giants are off to their best start since going 5-0 in 2009 and have the same number of victories as last year (4-13).
Failing two times in a row:
The Packers carefully advanced to the Giants’ six-yard line despite being down seven points. Everything then descended into chaos. Rodgers’ pass attempt was batted down at the line of scrimmage on both 3rd and 4th and 2nd downs. Rodgers’ attempt on the third down could have provided Randall Cobb with a chance to make the play. Rodgers tried to throw a back-shoulder pass to Allen Lazard on fourth down. Which player—Aaron Jones or A.J.—should the Packers have used? The Packers dared to pass by the Giants, who did so for the majority of the second half. Even on an RPO look on fourth down, Rodgers and the passing game fell short. On fourth down, Dillon likely would have scored if Rodgers had passed the ball instead of facing the blitz.
Give all the credit to New York:
They outscored us, outplayed us, and “Matt LaFleur, the Packers’ coach, said. “They undoubtedly desired it more. The story had two distinct halfbacks. In the second half, they kicked us in the butt. That is not allowed in this league.
After the game’s opening two three-and-outs, the Giants scored on five straight possessions. On third down, they were 6 of 11 ultimately.
From the shotgun, Jones ran to the right and threw the ball to Barkley, who then threw it to Daniel Bellinger. The rookie tight end cut the lead to 17-10 by avoiding a tackle and scoring from the 2.
However, Rodgers had 1:15 on the clock to guide the Packers into field-goal range. As the half came to a close, Mason Crosby’s 48-yard finalisation gave the Packers a 20-10 lead.
Jones ran 10 times for 37 yards on his own while completing 21 of 27 passes for 217 yards.
With seven receptions for 99 yards, Randall Cobb was Green Bay’s top receiver.
INJURIES:
Giants: FB. Just after Barkley’s 40-yard run in the second quarter, Chris Myarick left the field while suffering from an ankle injury. A neck and knee injury forced CB Adoree’ Jackson to leave. A knee injury kept DL Leonard Williams from playing. Throughout the game, Jones claimed that his ankle “felt good.” Along with turf burns on his hand, the quarterback also had it.
Packer WR In the third quarter, Christian Watson was forced to leave due to a hamstring injury.
Showing soon:
Giants: Sunday’s opponent will be Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens; week nine is off.
Packers: Week 14 is a bye week. On Sunday, the New York Jets will play at Lambeau Field.
Giants defeat the Packers, 27-22:
The Giants were down to Green Bay 14 after Daniel Jones’ 16-yard pass to Johnson. Jones connected with David Sills on a play action pass for five yards on third-and-3 from the Packers’ 7.
With 10:08 remaining in the regular season, Brightwell raced in for the 2-yard touchdown to tie the score at 20. The Packers went three-and-out after three consecutive incomplete passes.
Barkley returned to the game after briefly leaving because of an injury, catching a 40-yard pass to the Green Bay 20. A 2-yard direct snap to Barkley out of a Wildcat formation gave the Giants a 27-20 lead.
The Packers lead the Giants 20-13 after three quarters:
Rashan Gary had a sack to start the second half, but it was inverted because Darnell Savage was called for defensive holding. With a 13-yard catch to midfield on third-and-3, Slaton helped the Giants convert another third down.
On third-and-4, Jones picked up the next third down with his feet, gaining six yards. On first down at the Green Bay 24, Preston Smith tackled Barkley for a one-yard loss, and Gary tried to tackle Jones on a third-and-8 draw to force the 37-yard Gano field goal.
The very next series was launched by Rodgers’ 17-yard finalisation to Lazard on a play action slant. The Packers moved to midfield thanks to an 11-yard run by Dillon and a defending unnecessary roughness call.
