The Green Bay Packers improved to 6-2 following Sunday’s close 30-27 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. It certainly wasn’t their best effort, but it was enough to keep them a half-game back in the closely contested NFC North.
Green Bay pulled out the victory despite starting quarterback Jordan Love not finishing the game due to a groin injury, which forced backup Malik Willis into action for the fourth time this season. With the offense relying heavily on its run game in the second half, Willis completed only four passes, but a clutch throw with just over a minute remaining got them into field goal range and eventually allowed Brandon McManus to kick a walk-off 24-yarder.
