McManus kicks field goal

In a thrilling finish, Brandon McManus kicked a 45-yard field goal as time expired, leading the Green Bay Packers to a 24-22 victory over the Houston Texans on October 20, 2024. This marked McManus's debut with the Packers after being signed just days prior, and his kick capped a comeback that included overcoming three turnovers by Green Bay. Despite a lackluster performance from Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, who managed only 86 passing yards, the game featured seven lead changes, with Houston briefly taking the lead on a field goal late in the fourth quarter. Packers quarterback Jordan Love went 24 of 33 for 220 yards, scoring three touchdowns but also throwing two interceptions. The Packers improved to 5-2, extending their winning streak to three games, while the Texans fell to the same record, having been unable to capitalize on the Packers' mistakes. The win also showcased Green Bay's defense, which held Houston to just 197 total yards and pressured Stroud throughout the game.
