Jordan Love rallied Green Bay from a 17-point fourth-quarter deficit in his first career home start — a comeback that began after New Orleans lost quarterback Derek Carr to a shoulder injury — and the Packers stunned the Saints 18-17 on Sunday.
The Packers forced a three-and-out and took over at their 20 with 5:23 remaining. A 24-yard scramble by Love and a 30-yard completion to Jayden Reed set up the go-ahead touchdown. Green Bay won without five key contributors: cornerback Jaire Alexander , running back Aaron Jones , wide receiver Christian Watson , left tackle David Bakhtiari and left guard Elgton Jenkins . Bakhtiari and Jones were missing their second straight games, while Watson has yet to play this season.Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta makes a reception for a touchdown against the Atlanta Falcons in the first half at Ford Field in Detroit on Sept. 24, 2023.
Detroit scored first, taking advantage of favorable field position by forcing a punt with sacks on two straight snaps. LaPorta has 18 catches, the most by an NFL tight end through three games. The previous record was 17 receptions for Keith Jackson in 1988 for Philadelphia at the start of his three-time All-Pro career.
The Vikings had that second chance thanks to the bold choice by Chargers coach Brandon Staley to go for it on fourth-and-1 at his own 24 inside the 2-minute warning. Joshua Kelley was stonewalled in the hole by Jonathan Bullard. But the Vikings have simply lacked the late-game touch they had last season on the way to 11 wins in one-score games.
