The game began with a second-quarter passing touchdown from Jordan Love to MarShawn Lloyd, giving Green Bay an early 7-0 advantage. New York quickly responded before halftime when Braelon Allen rushed for a 5-yard score, knotting the contest at seven. The Jets then took control in the third quarter as Geno Smith connected with Garrett Wilson for a 5-yard touchdown, establishing a 14-7 lead heading into the final period. Jason Sanders extended New York's advantage to 17-7 early in the fourth with a 32-yard field goal.
