NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Green Bay Packers snapped a six-game losing streak with a 20-17 overtime victory against the New York Jets, highlighted by a fourth-quarter touchdown from Jordan Love to Christian Watson and a game-winning 26-yard field goal by rookie Trey Smack.
- Despite trailing 17-7, the Packers rallied with 10 points in the fourth quarter to tie the game, and their defense forced a quick Jets punt in overtime, setting up the winning drive.
- Love completed 16 of 29 passes for 145 yards, but the Packers faced challenges including injuries to key players Jayden Reed, Zach Bako-Bewele, and Aaron Banks, as well as 14 penalties totaling 133 yards.
- The Jets contributed to their own defeat with more penalty yards than the Packers and questionable coaching decisions by Aaron Glenn, including a delay of game penalty and a risky fourth-and-1 shotgun run late in the game.
- Following the loss, the Jets will play in Detroit next week, while the Packers prepare to host the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night.
