Packers Overcome Cardinals' Late Lead to Secure Crucial Road Win

On October 15, 2023, the Green Bay Packers secured a crucial 27-23 road victory over the Arizona Cardinals in a closely contested game. The Packers trailed late in the fourth quarter but rallied to score the game-winning touchdown with just 1:50 remaining on the clock.

The Packers' defense played a pivotal role in the comeback, making several key stops. Midway through the final quarter, linebacker Edgerrin Cooper led a fourth-and-1 stuff of Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett, and the Packers turned that stop into seven points to take the lead. Earlier, defensive end Rashan Gary's strip-sack led to a Packers touchdown, and defensive end Micah Parsons had his best game as a Packer with three sacks.

Offensively, tight end Tucker Kraft was a standout performer for the Packers. After catching only one pass in the first half, Kraft hauled in a game-tying touchdown early in the fourth quarter and then made a crucial fourth-down conversion to extend the eventual go-ahead drive. Kraft finished the game with five catches for 58 yards and a touchdown.
