Jets Let 10-Point Lead Get Away in 4th Quarter, Fall to Packers in Overtime

  • On Sunday, the Green Bay Packers defeated the New York Jets 20-17 in overtime at MetLife Stadium, with rookie kicker Trey Smack's 26-yard field goal securing the victory and moving Green Bay to a 1-1 season record.
  • Green Bay's defense stifled the Jets' offense in the second half, allowing the team to overcome a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit. Edge rusher Lukas Van Ness anchored the unit with 1.5 sacks and nine tackles.
  • The Packers committed 14 penalties during the game while struggling with significant injuries; wide receiver Jayden Reed and right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele were forced to leave, forcing the team to shuffle personnel throughout the contest.
  • "We had the lead in the fourth quarter, we had opportunities to close out the game, and we didn't capitalize," Jets quarterback Geno Smith said, while Packers head coach Matt LaFleur praised his team's resiliency.
  • Next, the Packers face the winless Atlanta Falcons on Thursday at Lambeau Field, though LaFleur expressed uncertainty about roster health for the short turnaround.
