Brandon McManus punctuates Packers debut with GW FG vs. Texans

Newly signed Brandon McManus kicked a game-winning 45-yard field goal as time expired Sunday to lift the host Green Bay Packers over the Houston Texans 24-22. McManus, who joined Green Bay last Tuesday after the team released inconsistent rookie Brayden Narveson, drilled the winner after the Packers drove 44 yards in the game's final 1:44. Houston (5-2) had taken a 22-21 lead the previous possession on Ka'imi Fairbairn's third field goal of the game, a 35-yarder. Green Bay (5-2) extended its winning streak to three games while stopping the Texans' streak at three. Packers quarterback Jordan Love completed 24 of 33 passes for 220 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions.
