Jackson only had time to complete three passes for 11 yards before injuring his knee. He did not return to the game after that. The 2019 NFL MVP has completed 62.1% of his stints for 2,231 yards and 17 touchdowns so far this season, including crossing the goal line three times.
To his relief, Tyler Huntley did just enough to lead his team to victory. He had 187 passing yards and suffered an interception. He scored the game’s only major in the fourth quarter on a two-yard run.
Brandon McManus scored all guest points with three field goals. However, he overlooked one who could have made the difference.
The most victorious
The Green Bay Packers defeated the Bears 28-19 in Chicago, overtaking the Illinois club at the top of NFL history with a 787th win.
Before this duel, the two teams were evenly matched. Aaron Rodgers’ side broke that tie and took the lead for the first time ever.
It was an 18-point surge in the final quarter that saw the Packets walk away with the win. AJ Dillon first closed the gap with a 21-yard run, then Christian Watson put the team ahead with another ground play, this time from 46 yards.
Justin Fields had two interceptions in the loss without joining a receiver for the touchdown. He was the author of the local favorites’ only major to use his feet.
