Jets take advantage of lackluster Packers for 27-10 win
Jeff Hanisch-USA TODAY Sports

The Green Bay Packers are happy to have the NFL's New York teams in their rearview mirror.

One week after losing to the Giants, 27-22, in London, the Packers fell to the Jets 27-10 at Lambeau Field to drop to 3-3 on the season. The Jets improved to 4-2 after winning their third straight game and beating Green Bay for the first time since 2006.

With the score tied 3-3 at halftime, the Jets took a 10-3 lead with 8:11 remaining in the third quarter on a sweep to wide receiver Braxton Berrios for a 20-yard touchdown. The Jets had moved into Packers territory on two passes from quarterback Zach Wilson to wide receiver Corey Davis for 41 and 11 yards.

Less than three minutes later, Jets defensive lineman Micheal Clemons blocked a Pat O'Donnell punt, which was recovered by safety Will Parks, who ran 20 yards for a touchdown and a 17-3 lead.

The Packers cut the lead to 17-10 on a 25-yard pass from quarterback Aaron Rodgers to wide receiver Allen Lazard with 2:35 remaining in the quarter.

Jets running back Breece Hall ran 34 yards for a touchdown on the first play of the final quarter for a 24-10 lead.

After stopping the Packers on fourth down at their 37-yard line with 9:12 remaining, the Jets essentially clinched the game with a 13-play drive that was all running plays and ran 6:38 off the clock. Greg Zuerlein kicked a 23-yard field goal for the final points with 2:34 on the clock.

After a scoreless first quarter, the second quarter began with a Packers 47-yard field-goal attempt by Mason Crosby that was blocked by defensive lineman Quinnen Williams.

The Jets took a 3-0 lead with 5:46 to play in the half on a 32-yard field goal by Zuerlein. Later in the quarter, Zuerlein missed a 53-yard field goal with 31 seconds remaining.

Rodgers went quickly to work from the Packers' 43-yard line and completed five consecutive passes for 46 yards that set up Crosby for a 29-yard field goal as time expired in the half.
