Jordan Love threw a go-ahead touchdown pass to Romeo Doubs with 2:33 remaining, and the host Green Bay Packers held on for a 23–20 win over the visiting Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 18.
Love completed 27 of 40 passes for a career-high 322 yards and two touchdowns for Green Bay (4–6). Christian Watson caught Love’s other touchdown pass and Jayden Reed rushed for a score.
Justin Herbert completed 21 of 36 passes for 260 yards and a pair of touchdowns for Los Angeles (4–6). Keenan Allen finished with 10 catches for 116 yards and a touchdown.
Green Bay lost running backs Aaron Jones and Emanuel Wilson to injuries during the game. Jones left with a knee injury and Wilson exited with a shoulder injury.
Los Angeles also lost an important starter when pass rusher Joey Bosa hobbled off the field without putting weight on his right leg.
He covered his head in a towel as he was carted toward the locker room, and soon after he was ruled out for the rest of the game with a right foot injury.
The Chargers went up 13–10 early in the second half on a 26-yard field goal by Cameron Dicker.
Green Bay regained a 16–13 lead in the final seconds of the third quarter. Watson hauled in Love’s pass in the back-left corner of the end zone for an 11-yard score. Anders Carlson missed the PAT try.
The lead changed again with 5:24 left in the fourth quarter. Herbert connected with Allen for a 10-yard touchdown to put Los Angeles back on top 20–16.
Doubs capped the scoring with his go-ahead grab in the end zone. He got a step behind the Chargers’ secondary and Love lobbed a 24-yard touchdown pass into his arms.
The score was tied 10–10 at the half.
Reed scored Green Bay’s first-half touchdown on a 32-yard scamper. He took a handoff on an end-around and raced down the right sideline to make it 7–3 on the first play of the second quarter.
Stone Smartt responded for the Chargers. The tight end caught a pass around the Green Bay 30-yard line and made a defender miss on his way to the end zone for a 51-yard score.
It was the first career touchdown reception for Smartt, an undrafted free agent from 2022 out of Old Dominion.
Carlson made a 28-yard field goal in the final seconds of the half to tie the game.
