Green Bay Packers hand Arizona Cardinals first loss of the season despite missing major offensive weapons
Aaron Rodgers threw two touchdown passes to Randall Cobb and the Green Bay Packers knocked off the previously unbeaten Arizona Cardinals 24-21 after Kyler Murray’s stunning late interception on Thursday night.
“This is why I love this squad,” Rodgers said. “The guy that made the pick was with them [pointing to Cards sideline] for four weeks. He was on the streets. We brought him in. He’s starting for us. He’s a great dude. He’s really meshed well with our team. To come up with a play like that with 15 seconds left is incredible.”
His 6-yard touchdown catch on the first play of the fourth quarter put the Packers up 24-14. Cobb was once one of the NFL’s top receivers – making the Pro Bowl in 2014 with 1,287 yards receiving and 14 touchdowns – but has settled into more a secondary role late in his career.The Cardinals trailed for most of the night but rallied to pull within 24-21 on James Conner’s second touchdown run of the night with 10:45 left in the fourth.
The Packers took advantage of a couple Cardinals mistakes to take a 17-7 lead by early in the third quarter.
