GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN — The Green Bay Packers beat the Carolina Panthers 27-19 on Thursday night at Lambeau Field, according to the NFL's official game coverage.
The turn came with Green Bay trailing 10-6 and backed up at its own 21. Jordan Love threw a ball that traveled 58.2 air yards, per Next Gen Stats, and Christian Watson ran it down. Five plays later Josh Jacobs scored on a 1-yard run, and the Packers were off on a 21-point run.
Watson was taken to a hospital by ambulance as a precaution with what the NFL described as a chest injury. He cleared tests and came back to play, finishing with eight catches for 113 yards. Love completed 30 of 41 passes for 288 yards and three touchdowns, including a 24-yard score to Matthew Golden in the second quarter. He also threw an interception near the end zone in the fourth quarter with a 14-point lead.
Green Bay's defense sacked Bryce Young six times, a season high for the Packers. Carolina recovered a fumble on the opening kickoff but settled for a field goal, and Young's 26-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Coker capped a 70-yard drive as Carolina rallied in the fourth quarter. The Green Bay run game stayed stuck: Jacobs had 39 yards on 21 carries.
The Packers are 5-3. The Panthers are 3-4.
