The turning point of Sunday’s 34-13 win over the Arizona Cardinals arrived during a crazy three-play sequence midway through the second quarter with the Green Bay Packers ahead 17-0.
The penalty-re-kick-touchdown progression turned what could have been a close game at the half into a legitimate blowout.
After the Packers forced a three-and-out, Jayden Reed fielded a punt, broke a tackle and then fumbled the ball away, seemingly leading to a turnover that would have given the Cardinals the football at the Green Bay 23-yard line and a chance to cut the lead to 17-7.
Instead, officials called offsetting penalties, so the Cardinals re-kicked.
