The Green Bay Packers secured a crucial late touchdown and a game-sealing interception to hold off an upset bid from the New York Giants on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

Quarterback Jordan Love connected with Christian Watson on a 17-yard touchdown pass—Watson’s second score of the afternoon—that gave the Packers a 27-20 lead following a two-point conversion run by Emanuel Wilson. Later, with under a minute remaining, defensive back Evan Williams intercepted Giants quarterback Jameis Winston in the end zone, ending New York’s late rally and recording the defense’s first takeaway of the game.

The victory was a must-win for Green Bay, and while the contest was far from pretty, Coach Matt LaFleur’s team improved to 6-3-1 thanks to several big plays in the final minutes.

Watson’s spinning touchdown catch came on a critical 2nd-and-7 with 4:02 left, demonstrating his agility and sure hands. Then, with just 36 seconds left, Williams made the game-clinching interception, solidifying the Packers’ hold on the lead.

Adding to the defensive effort, Micah Parsons wrapped up the win with a strip sack of Winston in the waning seconds, further stifling the Giants’ hopes.

The Giants had jumped out to an early 7-0 lead and managed to retake the lead 20-19 in the fourth quarter. However, on the decisive touchdown drive, Love completed four passes for 71 yards—including a key 32-yard connection to Savion Williams on 3rd-and-10—before finding Christian Watson in the end zone.

With this hard-fought win, the Packers now turn their attention to next week’s home game against the Minnesota Vikings, who suffered a defeat at the hands of the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The matchup at Lambeau Field promises to be another opportunity for Green Bay to solidify its position as the season progresses.
