Green Bay Packers Fourth Straight Win Beat Jaguars

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- — The Green Bay Packers might have to play without quarterback Jordan Love again. This time, it could be longer.

Love injured his left groin on the opening possession against Jacksonville, left the game for good in the third quarter, and then had a front-row seat as backup Malik Willis rallied the Packers to a 30-27 victory.

With Love watching from the sideline Sunday, Willis completed a 51-yard pass to Jayden Reed that set up Brandon McManus' second winning kick in as many weeks. Willis completed 4 of 5 passes for 56 yards, with a touchdown and the biggest completion of the day.

“The moment’s never too big for him and he made a lot of big-time plays in this game, not only with his arm,” LaFleur said.

Willis found Reed wide open down the left sideline after safety Andre Cisco cramped up and fell.

Jacksonville tried to let the Packers score, but Chris Brooks dropped to the ground to help set up McManus' 24-yarder.

The Jaguars lost all three of their starting receivers: Brian Thomas Jr. (chest), Christian Kirk (shoulder), and Gabe Davis (shoulder). Kirk was quickly ruled out after he injured his left shoulder trying to make a diving catch.

Green Bay’s Tucker Kraft became the latest tight end to hurt the Jaguars. Kraft had a 67-yard reception in the second quarter in which he broke one tackle and stiff-armed another defender to set up a field goal. He added a 3-yard touchdown catch in the fourth.
