LONDON, ENGLAND (WSAU) — The Packer offense failed to score in the second half as the New York Giants rattled off a 27-22 win in the first-ever Green Bay Packers regular-season game in London.
Green Bay opened a 20-10 lead by half thanks to a pair of Aaron Rodgers’ touchdown passes; a four-yard dart to Allen Lazard and a two-yard toss to Marcedes Lewis. Mason Crosby added a pair of field goals from 48 and 46 yards.
Rodgers finished 25/39 for 222 yards and two scores. Aaron Jones recorded 13 carries for 63 yards.

New York’s Daniel Jones was 21/27 for 217 yards. Shaq Barkley led the Giants with 13 carries for 70 yards and a score.
The only scoring for the Packers in the second half was a safety gifted to them by the Giants on a Jones kneel-down in the end zone with 58 seconds to go.
The Giants improve to 4-1 on the season while Green Bay falls to 3-2. The Packers return stateside next Sunday to host the New York Jets at Lambeau Field. Kick time is 12:00 PM, pregame coverage on WSAU will begin at 10 AM.
