Randy Bullock kicked a game-winning, 37-yard field goal as time expired and Tommy DeVito had 229 yards of total offense as the New York Giants edged the Green Bay Packers 24-22 on Monday in East Rutherford, N.J., to stretch their winning streak to three games.
Green Bay's Jordan Love threw a go-ahead 6-yard touchdown pass to Malik Heath with 1:33 remaining. The Packers failed on a two-point conversion attempt before their defense faltered.
A 32-yard connection between DeVito and Wan'Dale Robinson put the Giants (5-8) deep in Green Bay territory. Bullock's kick snapped a three-game winning streak for Green Bay (6-7), which committed three turnovers.
New York's Saquon Barkley rushed for 86 yards and two touchdowns, but a costly fumble at the end of a 34-yard run late in the fourth quarter gave the Packers the ball back. Carrington Valentine leapt over a stumbling Barkley without touching him, then returned the ball 50 yards to the New York 36 to set up the touchdown from Love to Heath.
The Giants grabbed their first lead with 11:22 left in the third quarter, taking advantage of a short field after Green Bay's Keisean Nixon fumbled a punt return. Barkley capped a three-play, 31-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown run that put New York ahead 14-10.
Green Bay followed with a punt but got possession back after the ball glanced off New York's Bobby McCain. The Packers recovered at the New York 14 but only managed a field goal to trim the deficit to a point.
DeVito was 17-for-21 for 158 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 71 yards on 10 carries. Robinson had six catches for 79 yards, and Isaiah Hodgins snagged an 8-yard TD toss.
After gaining just 24 yards on their first two possessions, both of which resulted in punts, the Packers capitalized on favorable field position off a New York missed field-goal attempt to score the game's first touchdown.
Green Bay covered 62 yards in seven plays and 3:51, as Jayden Reed punctuated the drive with a 16-yard scoring run with 1:01 left in the first quarter.
Love was 25-for-39 for 218 yards and a touchdown. He also threw an interception and lost a fumble. Green Bay's AJ Dillon carried 15 times for 53 yards, while Tucker Kraft had four catches for 64 yards.
