Quarterback Performance Analysis
Both quarterbacks completed 22 of 32 passes, but their effectiveness differed significantly:
| Player | Completions/Attempts | Yards | Touchdowns | Interceptions | Passer Rating | QBR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jordan Love (GB) | 22/32 | 258 | 4 | 1 | 119.5 | 86.5 |
| Kyler Murray (ARI) | 22/32 | 214 | 1 | 0 | 97.7 | 50.6 |
Jordan Love tied his career high with four touchdown passes, benefiting from exceptional pass protection. The Packers’ offensive line allowed Love to go through multiple progressions, including one play to Romeo Doubs where he cycled through four reads before finding his target.
Murray faced a different reality. The Packers contained his rushing ability, limiting him to 14 yards on seven carries after he entered the game averaging 10.7 yards per attempt. His passing game remained confined to short routes, with only one completion exceeding 18 yards – a 27-yard connection to Trey McBride.

Neither team recorded a sack, but Green Bay’s defense created three crucial turnovers. Karl Brooks forced and recovered a fumble, Evan Williams forced another that Jaire Alexander recovered, and Kenny Clark fell on a botched handoff between Murray and Trey Benson. These three fumbles occurred on consecutive Arizona possessions in the second half.
The Cardinals managed just two quarterback hits throughout the game. Sean Murphy-Bunting recorded Arizona’s lone takeaway with an interception of Jordan Love.
Special Teams Impact
A critical sequence late in the second quarter shifted momentum decisively. With Green Bay leading 17-0, Jayden Reed fumbled a punt that would have given Arizona possession at the Packers’ 23-yard line. Offsetting penalties negated the turnover, forcing a re-kick. Keisean Nixon returned the subsequent punt 39 yards, and Jordan Love connected with Christian Watson for a 44-yard touchdown on the next play.
