Packers close out Kansas City 27-19, improve to 6-6
The Chiefs started the fourth quarter with Mahomes hitting tight end Noah Gray for a 2-yard touchdown on third-and-goal to cut Green Bay’s lead to 21-19 with 14:51 left in regulation.
The Packers gained two first downs, including back-to-back passes to Watson, but the drive stalled following a delay of game penalty and Green Bay was forced to punt with 11:36 remaining.
The Packers’ defense forced the three-and-out, though, after holding Isiah Pecheco to a 2-yard gain on first down. Green Bay took over at its 23 with 10:41 left.
The Packers converted on second-and-16 with a 28-yard pass to Doubs on a corner route. Green Bay then ran a double reverse to Watson for 13 yards to the Kansas City 43.
After Dillon gained 10 yards on a draw up the middle, Love connected with Malik Heath a short stop route that the rookie receiver took up field for 15 yards.
After Love was sacked on third down, Anders Carlson drilled a 40-yard field goal to extend the Packers’ lead to 24-19 with 6:03 remaining.
Kansas City moved to the Packers’ 49 following a defensive pass interference penalty, but Keisean Nixon intercepted Mahomes on a pass intended for Moore and returning it to the Packers’ 35.
Green Bay opened with a 7-yard pass to Doubs in the flat and converted the first down with a 6-yard Dillon run up the middle. A 9-yard screen to Wicks and a Love sneak off a third-and-1 push moved the ball the KC 41, causing the Chiefs to use their first timeout.
Dillon gained seven yards on a first down run and Kansas City used its second timeout with 3:16 remaining. Watson picked up the first down on a reversal but was injured at the end of the play. The Chiefs used their final timeout with 3:08 left.
Two Dillon runs for four yards moved the ball to the Kansas City 20, as the game reached the two-minute warning. Love was sacked for a 10-yard loss, but Carlson made a 48-yard field goal to extend Green Bay’s lead to 27-19 with 1:09 remaining.
Kansas City used a fair catch to start at its 25. Mahomes scrambled out of bounds and referee Brad Allen’s crew called Owens for a late hit. Isiah Pacheco was ejected after a 10-yard pass to Rashee Rice.
The Chiefs faced fourth-and-10 from their 33 with 5 seconds left, but the Packers batted the ball down in the end zone.
