Wyatt in, Walker inactive: The Packers are getting back Devonte Wyatt, who missed the last three games with an ankle injury, but Quay Walker is inactive after suffering a concussion last Sunday. Expect to see plenty of Eric Wilson, Edgerrin Cooper and Isaiah McDuffie at linebacker.

No score through one: The Packers and Jaguars are tied at 0-0 through one quarter, but the Packers have a big yard advantage — 108 to 15 — and time of possession advantage. Green Bay ran 18 plays and held the ball for 11:19 of the first 15 minutes. The Jaguars went three-and-out on both possessions to start the game.

Another pick for X: A few plays after Jordan Love was intercepted in the red zone, Xavier McKinney got the ball right back with his sixth interception of the season. He was in the right place at the right time to pick off Trevor Lawrence’s misfire. Six picks in eight games for the former Giant.

Packers take the lead: After Xavier McKinney’s interception and a 21-yard pass interference penalty, the Packers took a 7-0 lead on Josh Jacobs’ 3-yard touchdown run. Green Bay is dominating the game in almost every way, and now Matt LaFleur’s team has a lead.

Big play Tuck: A new career-long reception for Packers tight end Tucker Kraft — 67 yards on a catch-and-run after an extended play from Jordan Love. The play set up a field goal for the Packers.

Packers go up six: Trevor Lawrence’s 6-yard touchdown run cut into the Packers’ lead, but Jordan Love led another scoring drive. Green Bay got a couple of shots to score but couldn’t get it done — settling for a field goal from the red zone. It’s 13-7, but the Packers are 1-for-4 scoring touchdowns in the red zone in the first half.

13-10 at half: The Packers mostly dominated, but a lack of situational finish from Matt LaFleur’s team has the Jaguars right in it at the half. The Jaguars drove the field and kicked a short field goal to cut the lead to 13-10. Jacksonville gets the ball to start the third quarter.

Love hurt, Jags lead: Jordan Love exited the game on the first drive of the second half, and then the Jaguars drove the field for the go-ahead touchdown. Rookie defensive back Javon Bullard gave up an explosive play and the touchdown pass to Brian Thomas Jr. The Packers need a response.

Injury update: Jordan Love is questionable to return with a groin injury. Evan Williams was ruled out with a hamstring injury.

Josh Jacobs re-takes the lead: Malik Willis ripped off a 20-yard run, and Jacobs produced one of his most impressive runs of the season on a 38-yard score that gave the Packers a 20-17 lead. Watch Jacobs make a man miss at the second level and race into the end zone for a go-ahead score:

What a response: The Packers turned a 3-point deficit into a 10-point lead with an onslaught from the offense and defense. After Josh Jacobs’ 38-yard touchdown run re-took the lead, the Packers defense created a takeaway when Edgerrin Cooper’s strip-sack led to a Devonte Wyatt fumble recovery. A few plays later, Malik Willis hit Tucker Kraft on a well-designed play-action call for a short touchdown pass. It’s 27-17 Packers.

Can Packers hold on? The Jaguars drove for a field goal with 5:36 left. It’s 27-20. Can Malik Willis engineer a game-sealing drive? Or will the Packers defense need another stop?

Tied up: The Jaguars drove 87 yards to tie the game at 27 with 1:48 left. Evan Engram beat Keisean Nixon for a leaping 14-yard touchdown catch from Trevor Lawrence. Does Malik Willis have any late-game magic?

McManus walk-off winner again: A long completion from Malik Willis to Jayden Reed delivered the late dagger for the Packers. The big play set up Brandon McManus’ 24-yard game winner as time expired. Packers improve to 6-2.
