Packers 27, Cardinals 23 — and the desert got a dandy. Green Bay trailed most of the day, but a little late-game Lambeau grit traveled well. First came the halftime heater: Lucas Havrisik uncorked a 61-yard moonshot as time expired in the second quarter to keep it close, then the Pack traded haymakers until they landed the last one. Bettors note: Green Bay wins but doesn’t cover the -6.5, and the 44.5 total sails over. (bleacherreport.com)

For the Pack, it was grown-man football when it mattered. Jordan Love stayed steady — 19/29, 179 yards, 1 TD — and leaned on Tucker Kraft as his security blanket, including the go-ahead fourth-quarter strike and a massive fourth-and-2 conversion on the clinching drive (5/10, 58 yards, 1 TD). The closer? Josh Jacobs slammed the door with a 1-yard plunge at 1:54 and finished with a blue-collar line: 13 carries, 55 yards, 2 TD. Romeo Doubs kept the chains humming (6/8, 72 yards), and rookie Matthew Golden chipped in timely grabs (4/4, 37 yards) as Green Bay’s offense played situational ball to perfection.

Arizona had juice all afternoon. With Kyler sidelined, Jacoby Brissett delivered a gamer: 25/36, 279 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT, repeatedly finding his All-Pro-in-the-making tight end. Trey McBride was a problem — 10/13, 74 yards, 2 TD — and the Cards sprinkled in chunk plays to Zay Jones (43-yarder) and Marvin Harrison Jr. (35-yarder). But Green Bay’s rush showed up in the money moments, stacking drive-killing sacks and stonewalling a fourth-and-1 sneak near midfield with 5:58 left — the pivot that set up the Pack’s clock-chewing, game-winning march.

Notables around this one: pregame buzz had Kyler Murray (foot) iffy and Havrisik likely handling kicks for Green Bay — both threads loomed large — and Arizona entered riding a string of one-score heartbreakers, a theme that unfortunately continued. Also, the “watch this rookie” chatter on Matthew Golden kept aging well after another reliable showing. (espn.com)

Big Dill of the Game: Josh Jacobs — 13 rushes, 55 yards, 2 TD, including the game-winner. Cold-blooded closer in the clutch.

That’s the wrap from Dillon “Big Dill” Smith on Big Dill Sports — where ballin’ is a big dill.
