Jaguars lead Packers 3-0 after first quarter
The Packers saw their streak of eight consecutive games with points on their opening offensive possession come to a close when quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ third-and-3 pass for tight end Robert Tonyan fall incomplete, leading to a three-and-out.
Jacksonville powered the ball down to Green Bay’s 34-yard line with a trio of James Robinson carries accounting for 17 yards of the Jaguars’ 29 yards on the seven-play drive. Chase McLaughlin, kicking with the wind to his back, made a 52-yard field goal to put the Jaguars up 3-0 with 10 minutes, 36 seconds left in the first quarter.
The Packers ventured into Jacksonville territory for the first time with Tonyan drawing a 29-yard defensive pass interference penalty on Myles Jack. The Packers wound up punting, though, after officials called right tackle Billy Turner for a chop block.
JK Scott dropped a 37-yard punt down at the Jacksonville 5-yard line. The Packers eventually forced a Jaguars punt after defensive tackle Kenny Clark’s solo tackle of Robinson on first down, holding Jacksonville’s running back to a 1-yard pickup, and then an incomplete pass from Jake Luton on third-and-3.
The Packers took over at their own 4-yard line but again would go three-and-out after Rodgers couldn’t connect with Davante Adams near the sideline, resulting in JK Scott’s third punt of the opening quarter.
Jacksonville matched the Packers’ 0-for-3 start on third downs, with Green Bay cornerback Ka’dar Hollman’s good coverage disrupting a Luton third-and-4 attempt to Chris Conley.
The first quarter ended with Rodgers completing a 6-yard pass to Adams to convert on third-and-2.
