9 sourcesUpdated Sep 21, 2026
Trey Smack's 26-yard field goal in overtime lifted the Green Bay Packers over the New York Jets 20-17 and ended a six-game losing streak. Green Bay scored the game's final 13 points after trailing 17-7, winning with only 199 total yards and a 1-for-9 conversion rate on third down. The afternoon opened with consecutive carted-off injuries. Jayden Reed left with a neck injury and Zach Bako-Bewele with a knee injury on the first drive. Jordan Love still hit MarShawn Lloyd for a 6-yard touchdown and a 7-0 lead. The Jets tied it, then Geno Smith found Garrett Wilson to make it 14-7 late in the third. A recovered fumble set up a Jets field goal for 17-7. Love answered with a 3-yard score to Christian Watson. Skyy Moore's 63-yard punt return set up Smack's tying 34-yarder. Jets won the overtime toss and received, but consecutive sacks by Barryn Sorrell and Lukas Van Ness plus a false start left third-and-30 and a punt. Kaleb Johnson runs, a Chris Brooks catch and late-hit penalty, and Matthew Golden's catch to the 8 set up Smack. Love went 16 of 29 for 145 yards and two touchdowns; Smith 27 of 41 for 247 and one. Packers had 14 penalties, Jets 13.
