Takeaway and Tucker Kraft give Packers the lead back vs. Rams

The Green Bay Packers used another takeaway and another explosive play to re-take the lead over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday at SoFi Stadium. 

The Green Bay Packers used another takeaway and another explosive play to re-take the lead over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday at SoFi Stadium.

Xavier McKinney recovered a fumble caused by Kingsley Enagbare on the Rams’ first drive of the second half, and Jordan Love hit Tucker Kraft for a 66-yard touchdown pass two plays later to give the Packers a 17-13 lead early in the third quarter.

Here’s the touchdown, which featured a throw under pressure from Love, a terrific run after the catch by Kraft and a hustle block from Dontayvion Wicks downfield:

The Packers trailed 13-7 after Love threw a pick-six, but a 46-yard field goal from Brayden Narveson before the half and the takeaway-touchdown combo to start the third quarter has the Packers back on top.

The 66-yard touchdown is the longest of Kraft’s career and the longest by a Packers tight end since 2012 (Tom Crabtree). He has two catches for 71 yards.

McKinney now has a takeaway in five straight games — four interceptions and a fumble recovery. Enagbare has a forced fumble in two of the last three games.
