Arizona CardinalsvsGreen Bay Packers
ARI 38/GB 42
Things to say
Green Bay beat Arizona 42-38 at Lambeau Field.
01
opener
Packers won 42-38, but man, that was a shootout. Both defenses just could not get off the field. Came right down to the wire.
02
key player
Kyle McCord was cold-blooded down the stretch. Four touchdown passes, 226 yards, and he hit Kisean Johnson twice in the fourth to steal it.
03
hot take
Two picks from Slovis is what actually decided that game. You can't turn it over twice at Lambeau and expect to walk out with a win.
04
deep cut
The special teams flipped it early too. Will Sheppard took a punt back 81 yards for six, and that field-position stuff gets overlooked in a game like that.
05
exit
Anyway, Cards drop to 1-3 and the wheels are coming off. Curious to see if they can bounce back next week.
The recap
Green Bay was staring down a 38-35 deficit in the final minutes and Kyle McCord just refused to let it end, throwing his fourth touchdown of the night — a 10-yarder to Kisean Johnson with 20 ticks left — to steal it 42-38. This was a shootout the whole way, with Arizona's Evan Hull bulldozing for 107 and a pair of scores, but Kedon Slovis handed the game away with two picks that Green Bay turned into points.
Sturdivant was the security blanket, racking up 112 yards, while a punt-return house call from Will Sheppard flipped the field early. Wild finish at Lambeau, and the guys who bet the under got torched.
