Malik Willis sets up the game-winning FG as the Packers escape with a victory over the Jaguars

The Green Bay Packers lost quarterback Jordan Love to a groin injury and gave up the lead twice in the second half, but Malik Willis and Brandon McManus combined to lift Matt LaFleur's team to a 30-27 victory over the Jaguars on Sunday at EverBank from Jacksonville to the stadium on Sunday.

Willis entered the game in the third quarter and the Packers immediately scored back-to-back touchdowns to take a 27-17 lead. After the Jaguars stormed back late to tie the game at 27, Willis hit Jayden Reed for a 51-yard completion, setting up McManus' game-winning 24-yard field goal as time expired.

The Packers are now 6-2 and will face the Detroit Lions next Sunday at Lambeau Field. The status of Love, who left with a groin injury, is unclear next week.

The backup quarterback and kicker delivered again on Sunday. Willis, acquired in a trade with the Titans before the season, won both starts earlier this season and now has a game-winning performance. McManus, who replaced Brayden Narveson last week, made two game-winning field goals in a row. He hit the Houston Texans with a game-winning 45-yarder last week.

Josh Jacobs ran 25 times for 127 yards and two touchdowns. Tucker Kraft had a 67-yard catch for a score and caught a 3-yard touchdown pass from Willis, and Romeo Doubs produced three catches for 72 yards.

Willis finished the game with four completions on five attempts for 56 yards and a touchdown. He also ran four times for 23 yards, including a 20-yard scramble.

The Packers completed the sweep of the AFC South. Willis played a big role in victories over the Jaguars, Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans, his former team.
