Packers Rally Late to Beat Cardinals 27-23, Lead NFC North

The Green Bay Packers secured a dramatic 27-23 road victory over the Arizona Cardinals, marking their first road win of the 2025 season and solidifying their position atop the NFC North with a 4-1-1 record. The game featured a back-and-forth battle highlighted by Packers kicker Lucas Havrisik's franchise-record 61-yard field goal just before halftime and Josh Jacobs' two critical rushing touchdowns, including the game-winning 1-yard run with under two minutes left. Packers pass rusher Micah Parsons was a standout, recording his first career three-sack game and playing a pivotal role in disrupting Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who was filling in for the injured Kyler Murray. Despite Brissett's strong performance with 279 yards passing and two touchdowns, Arizona could not complete a final drive after a crucial fourth-down pass was broken up. Green Bay overcame a halftime deficit and a challenging offensive outing, relying on key defensive plays and strategic fourth-down conversions orchestrated by coach Matt LaFleur. The Cardinals, now 2-5, suffered their fifth consecutive close loss, underscoring ongoing struggles in tight games.
