The Packers win with another walk-off field goal, 30-27 over the Jaguars

The Packers lead the Jaguars 13-10 at halftime

An illegal hands-to-the-face penalty on Travon Walker gave Green Bay a first down on the first play of the second quarter.

Jarrian Jones caught Love on an out route as the Jaguars recovered the ball at the Jacksonville 6. Safety Xavier McKinney got the ball right back with his sixth interception in eight games this season.

Xavier McKinney's six INTs in the first eight games are the most by a Packers player since Willie Buchanon's six in 1978.

Green Bay turned the takeaway into points, starting with Romeo Doubs drawing a 22-yard defensive pass interference penalty on third-and-7. On the next play, Jacobs hit a 3-yard touchdown to give the Packers a 7-0 lead with 11 minutes, 31 seconds left in the first half.

Jacksonville failed to gain a first down for the fourth straight game after Bigsby suffered a 1-yard loss on a third-and-2 reception.

Love bought himself time and rolled straight before finding a wide-open Tucker Kraft in the middle of the field. Kraft avoided a tackle and extended the play for a career-long 67-yard catch to the Jacksonville 9.

The drive stalled after an illegal conversion on first down and Green Bay settled for a 31-yard field goal from Brandon McManus to extend its lead to 10-0 with 6:03 left in the half.

With just under six minutes left in the first half, the Jaguars got their first first down with a 33-yard pass to Christian Kirks. An 18-yard pass to Brian Thomas Jr. put the Jaguars in the red zone.

Trevor Lawrence punched in the ball on a designed QB draw, cutting the Packers' lead to 10-7 with 2:37 left in the first half.

Love opened the next series with a 12-yard lead to Watson when the two-minute warning was reached in the first half. On second-and-10, Love laid a perfect ball to Doubs for a 25-yard completion down the Packers sideline to the Jacksonville 33.

Green Bay ran the ball to the 28 before Love's third-and-5 pass to Bo Melton fell incomplete. McManus initially attempted a 46-yard field goal, but the Jaguars were called for a defensive delay of play to give the Packers five yards and a first down.

Green Bay picked up three more yards before sending McManus back for a 38-yard field goal, extending the Packers' lead to 13-7 with 54 seconds left in the half.

It was announced that Packers safety Evan Williams has a hamstring injury and is questionable whether he will return. Jacksonville stormed back to the Green Bay 21 with a 23-yard pass to Parker Washington and a 28-yard pass to Thomas with 16 seconds left in the half.

Little hit a 39-yard field goal at halftime to cut the deficit to 13-10.
