In his first game with Green Bay, veteran kicker Brandon McManus nailed a 45-yard field goal as time expired, leading the Packers to a 24-22 victory over the Houston Texans on Sunday.
Packers quarterback Jordan Love completed 25 of his 34 attempts for 224 yards and three touchdowns, but the offense was far from perfect, as he also threw two interceptions and had two other passes dropped by his receivers.
Texans signal-caller C.J. Stroud struggled in this matchup, finishing 10-of-21 for just 87 passing yards. His 60.6 passing grade marked his lowest since Week 14 of his rookie season.
The Texans' offense generated a disappointing -0.430 EPA per passing play, the second-worst single-game mark of Stroud's career.
