Jordan Love threw two touchdown passes and the Green Bay Packers turned back a fourth-quarter rally for a 27-18 victory over the visiting Washington Commanders on Thursday night.

The Packers led 17-3 before the Commanders finally found the end zone with 13:45 left in the fourth quarter. Jayden Daniels capped an 11-play, 50-yard drive with a 20-yard touchdown pass to Zach Ertz, cutting the deficit to seven. A defensive holding penalty against Green Bay on fourth-and-7 kept the drive alive.
