Raiders won the second quarter, driving 62 yards on 14 plays, the last a four yard run for a touchdown by Josh Jacobs. Jacobs led the league last year in rushing. The Packers defense held him to 69 yards on twenty carries.
Objectively, it was still Jacob’s best performance of the season. After the Raider touchdown, Jordan Love threw a truly ugly interception that gave the Raiders the ball back in the red zone. The Packer defense held firm, but an easy field goal put the Green and Gold down 10 at halftime.
The Packer defense held the entire Raider team under 100 yards rushing, a first for this 2023 Packer club.
