Green Bay Packers hold off Washington Commanders 27-18
A two-yard rushing touchdown proved to be enough to get the Green Bay Packers over the line 27-18 against the Washington Commanders.
Both quarterbacks found the ehttps://x.com/packers/status/1966333854249025791nd zone twice through the air, but Josh Jacobsโ score in the second quarter gave the Packers just enough of a cushion to hold off Washingtonโs late rally.
Green Bay opened the scoring in the first quarter when Jordan Love connected with Romeo Doubs, before Jacobsโ touchdown pushed the Packersโ advantage out to 14-0.
Both teams traded field goals each side of the third quarter to make the score 17-3 headed into the fourth.
Washington finally found the end zone at the start of the final quarter, Zach Ertz on the receiving end of a 20-yard pass from Jayden Daniels, to close the gap to just seven.
However, Green Bay restored their advantage soon after when Love found Tucker Kraft in the end zone on an eight-yard pass.
A 56-yard field goal by Brandon McManus put the result almost out of Washingtonโs reach, with the Commanders only managing a consolation touchdown as the minutes wound down.
