Giants lead Packers 7-0 after first quarter
New York won the opening coin toss and elected to receive. On third-and-5, Giants quarterback found an open Wan’Dale Robinson for 20 yards to the Green Bay 20.
Carrington Valentine nearly picked off Winston on a first-and-10 pass intended for tight end Theo Johnson. On the next play, Isaiah Hodgins caught a 20-yard pass to set up first-and-goal.
Two plays later, Devin Singletary ran in a 5-yard touchdown to put the Giants up 7-0 over Green Bay with 10 minutes, 35 seconds left in the first quarter.
On the Packers’ first play, Josh Jacobs gained seven yards on first-and-5 after an encroachment penalty. It was initially ruled he gained 15 yards on his next carry. The Giants lost a timeout after interim coach Mike Kafka unsuccessfully challenged that Jacobs stepped out of bounds.
The drive stalled there after Luke Musgrave lost a yard on a fumble and Romeo Doubs dropped a crosser from Jordan Love on third-and-11. The Giants started at their own 15 after Daniel Whelan’s 34-yard punt.
An illegal block in the back on Hodgins pushed the Giants back to their own 8. Valentine nearly picked off Winston again but couldn’t haul it in. Green Bay started its second series at its 38.
Jacobs gained six yards on a pass from Love and then converted the first down with a 2-yard run on third-and-1. Bo Melton gained 17 yards on an end-around to the New York 34. Green Bay was backed up 10 yards after a holding penalty on Rasheed Walker.
Jordan Love scrambled for four yards but was injured on the play. He went to the locker room with a left shoulder injury. Malik Willis replaced him at quarterback. He gained 17 yards on a third-and-8 read-option to the New York 16. The first quarter ended with Green Bay facing second-and-4 from the Giants’ 10.
