Green Bay Packers rally late to topple Arizona Cardinals in thrilling finish

Josh Jacobs powered the Green Bay Packers to a thrilling 27-23 comeback win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday in Glendale, Arizona. Despite nursing a strained left calf, Jacobs rushed for two touchdowns, including the go-ahead 1-yard score with 1:50 remaining, as Green Bay rallied late to improve to 4-1-1.



The Cardinals (2-5) suffered their fifth straight defeat, each by a single score. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett, starting in place of the injured Kyler Murray, completed 25 of 36 passes for 279 yards and two touchdowns - both to tight end Trey McBride, who caught 10 passes for 74 yards. However, Arizona’s final drive ended when Brissett’s end-zone pass was broken up with six seconds left.


Micah Parsons delivered a dominant performance for Green Bay, registering his first three-sack game since joining the team. Quarterback Jordan Love went 19 of 29 for 179 yards and a touchdown, while Romeo Doubs led Packers receivers with six catches for 72 yards.



Trailing 23-20 midway through the fourth quarter, Green Bay seized momentum after Arizona failed on a fourth-down attempt in its own territory. On the ensuing drive, Love connected with tight end Tucker Kraft for a crucial 15-yard gain on fourth-and-2. Three plays later, Jacobs capped the drive with the game-winning touchdown—his second of the day - to put the Packers ahead for good.


Earlier, Jacobs tied the game at 13 with a 7-yard scoring run after the Packers capitalized on an Arizona turnover. Love later found Kraft for a 7-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter to even things again at 20-20.

Arizona kicker Chad Ryland’s 39-yard field goal briefly gave the Cardinals a lead, but Green Bay’s resilience proved decisive. Lucas Havrisik also nailed a 61-yard field goal for the Packers just before halftime.
