Game Report, 2024 Week 8: Packers 30, Jaguars 27

JACKSONVILLE – They fought, scraped and played inspired. Really inspired.

Then frustratingly, it wasn't enough.

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw for two touchdowns, ran for another and led two gritty comebacks. But the Jaguars couldn't overcome mistakes and missed opportunities – and the Green Bay Packers held on for a wild 30-27 victory at EverBank Stadium Sunday afternoon.

Kicker Brandon McManus' 24-yard field goal as time expired gave the Packers the victory. Backup quarterback Malik Willis' 51-yard pass to wide receiver Jayden Reed gave the Packers a first down at the Jaguars 15 with 1:04 remaining.

Tight end Evan Engram's leaping, twisting catch on a 14-yard touchdown pass from Lawrence with 1:48 remaining tied it 27-27 after the Jaguars trailed by 10 early in the fourth quarter.

The Jaguars (2-6) lost after winning two of their previous three games. The Packers are 6-2.

The Jaguars, after trailing 10-0 early, rallied to lead 20-17 with Lawrence running for a second-quarter touchdown and giving the Jaguars a third-quarter lead with a touchdown pass to uber-productive rookie wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr.

But the Packers scored the next 14 points.

First, running back Josh Jacobs ran 38 yards to give the Packers a late third-quarter lead. Lawrence then lost a fumble – his first loss fumble of the season – three plays into the ensuing series to set up a short touchdown drive that extended the Packers' lead to double digits –27-17 – early in the fourth quarter.

Lawrence completed 21 of 32 passes for 308 yards and two touchdowns with one interception.

Packers quarterback Jordan Love completed 14 of 22 passes for 196 yards and no touchdowns with one interception before leaving with a groin injury in the third quarter. Willis completed four of five passes for 56 yards and one touchdown with no interceptions.

The Jaguars registered one sack and a takeaway Sunday, with cornerback Jarrian Jones intercepting Love in the second quarter at the Jaguars 6. Defensive ends Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker split a fourth-quarter sack.
