Brandon McManus kicked a 45-yard field goal with no time left to give the Green Bay Packers a 24–22 win over the Houston Texans at Lambeau Field.
McManus just signed with the Packers this week after an NFL investigation found “insufficient evidence” of the 10-year veteran violating the league’s personal conduct policy with sexual assault allegations against him.
Jordan Love threw three touchdown passes and two interceptions, completing 24-of-33 passes for 220 yards. Josh Jacobs led the Packers in rushing with 76 yards on 12 carries, while Romeo Doubs had eight receptions for 95 yards.
Houston had only 197 yards of total offense and 86 yards passing from C.J. Stroud. However, three turnovers by the Packers — including two interceptions by Jordan Love — compensated for the Texans’ inability to move the ball through the air.
Joe Mixon provided the majority of Houston’s offense, rushing for 115 yards and two scores on 25 carries. Dalton Schultz led the Texans’ in receiving with a 28-yard catch. Stefon Diggs managed only 23 yards on five receptions and seven targets.
The Packers went on top midway through the third quarter on an 8-yard touchdown pass from Love to Jacobs, the first TD reception of his six-year NFL career.
Love threw two interceptions but completed 20-of-26 passes for 181 yards. Jacobs led the Packers in rushing with 76 yards on 12 carries, while Romeo Doubs had six receptions for 76 yards.
The Packers’ defense hassled Texans QB C.J. Stroud throughout the game, sacking him four times. He only threw for 75 yards on 8–for-18 passing with no touchdowns.
