LONDON – The Packers played a strong first half but could not score offensively in the alternate half and let a lead get down in losing a veritably disappointing game to the Giants, 27- 22, on Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
With the loss, the
Packers fell to 3- 2. The Giants bettered to 4- 1.
Green Bay led 17-
3 in the alternate quarter on two Aaron Rodgers TD passes to TE Marcedes Lewis
and WR Allen Lazard, and the Packers led 20- 10 at the half when K Mason Crosby
was good from 48 yards on the final play of the first half.
But the Giants put
together regular scoring drives in the alternate half to score 17 unanswered
points for a 27- 20 lead, and the Packer's last chance failed inside the New
York 10- yard line. Facing third- and- 2 from the 7, Rodgers had back-to-back
passes maundered down at the line of conflict to turn the ball over on campo
with just over a nanosecond left.
The Giants ran as
important time as possible before taking safety out of punt conformation, and
also after the free kick the Packers could not get the Hail Mary off as
Rodgers' arm was hit while trying to heave it.
Rodgers finished
25- of- 39 for 222 yards with two TDs and a96.3 standing. WR Randall Cobb had
seven catches for 99 yards, with Lazard adding four heists for 35 yards and a
TD. RB Aaron Jones had 13 carries for 63 yards, and RB AJ Dillon had six carries
for 34 yards.
For the Giants, QB
Daniel Jones was 21- of- 27 for 217 yards with no TDs, no INTs, and an a100.2
passer standing. He also had RB Saquon Barkley had 13 carries for 70 yards with
the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter. He added three catches for 36
yards. The Giants' leading receiver was Darius Slayton with six catches for 79
yards.
