Packers-Texans was a messy battle of heavyweights — and still a showcase for why both can win the Super Bowl

Good teams don’t have to be perfect to still be considered good teams, and that was on full display when the Green Bay Packers and Houston Texans took the field on Sunday. While the Packers took home the 24-22 win with a last-second field goal by the recently signed Brandon McManus, neither team actually looked great, and the chippy game felt closer to a draw.

"It wasn't perfect," said Packers quarterback Jordan Love. "It definitely was not perfect. A lot of mistakes. But we found a way to win."

However, both young quarterbacks showed just enough, along with some other strong performances from the players around them, to the point where each team’s fan base should feel like their team still has a chance to compete in January and beyond.
