Glendale, AZ – October 19, 2025 – The Green Bay Packers clawed their way to a hard-fought 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7 at State Farm Stadium, overcoming a barrage of injuries and a resilient host to snap a mini-slump and improve to 4-1-1. Despite entering as seven-point favorites, Green Bay’s depleted roster turned the game into a nail-biter, with Jordan Love’s clutch fourth-quarter touchdown pass proving the difference in a contest that highlighted the Packers’ grit.

Despite a rocky first half where they trailed 13-6 at the break—thanks to a record 61-yard field goal by Arizona’s Chad Ryland—the Packers roared back after halftime. Green Bay outscored the Cardinals 21-10 in the final two quarters, capitalizing on turnovers and big plays to flip the script on a team that had won three of the last four meetings.

Final Score: Cardinals 23 – Packers 27 The Packers kept pace early but exploded in the second half, with Love engineering a 10-play, 75-yard drive capped by a 12-yard scoring strike to Tucker Kraft, giving Green Bay its first road win of the season and handing Arizona its third straight loss.

Game Highlights & Standout Performers Green Bay Packers Jordan Love – QB Love was surgical under duress, completing 24-of-35 passes for 265 yards and 2 touchdowns, while adding 17 rushing yards. His poise on third downs (8-of-11 conversions) kept drives alive, including the game-winning dagger in the fourth.

Romeo Doubs – WR Doubs emerged as Love’s favorite target with 7 receptions for 112 yards, including a crucial 22-yard grab that set up the halftime field goal attempt, showcasing his reliability in traffic.

Packers Defense Despite missing key linemen like Lukas Van Ness (foot) and Devonte Wyatt (knee), Green Bay’s unit stepped up with 3 sacks (led by Quay Walker’s strip-sack on Jacoby Brissett) and 2 takeaways, forcing two fumbles that flipped momentum.

Arizona Cardinals Jacoby Brissett – QB Filling in for the injured Kyler Murray, Brissett went 17-of-23 for 199 yards and 2 touchdowns (both to Trey McBride), but his fumble deep in Green Bay territory early in the third quarter handed the Packers short field and shifted the game’s tide.

Trey McBride – TE McBride was Brissett’s security blanket, hauling in 8 catches for 98 yards and both scores, including a 3rd-and-23 conversion that briefly gave Arizona life in the second half.

James Conner – RB Conner powered through for 89 rushing yards on 18 carries, including a 7-yard touchdown, but the Packers’ front seven limited him to 4.9 yards per carry, stifling Arizona’s ground attack.

Turning Point: Packers’ Fumble Recovery Ignites Comeback Trailing 20-13 midway through the third, Green Bay’s Quay Walker stripped Brissett on a blindside hit, recovering the loose ball at the Cardinals’ 44-yard line. Love needed just five plays to punch it in with a 7-yard scramble by Josh Jacobs, flipping a seven-point deficit into a lead the Packers never relinquished.

What’s Next? Packers (now 4-1-1) – Despite the injury toll (Christian Watson out with knee, plus seven questionable including Jacobs with a new calf issue), Green Bay’s depth shone through. Next up: A marquee Monday Night clash with the Lions, where Love’s hot hand could solidify their NFC North lead.

Cardinals (now 2-5) – Arizona’s rebuild stutters with Brissett’s solid but turnover-prone outing, and Murray’s foot injury lingering. Head coach Jonathan Gannon faces heat as they host the Rams next—another must-win to salvage divisional hopes.

This win wasn’t pretty, but it reaffirmed the Packers’ resilience amid the league’s injury epidemic, setting the stage for a potential statement run. Stay locked in for postgame analysis on ESPN.
