Leonard Williams ejected, Packers cut deficit to 21-17 before halftime

The Packers have found some positives after a slow start to Sunday’s road game against the Jets and they won’t have to worry about Jets defensive lineman Leonard Williams thwarting any of their further efforts.

Williams was ejected for throwing a punch at Packers tackle Bryan Bulaga with less than two minutes to go in the half. The scrap came at the end of a play that saw the Packers move into the red zone and Jamaal Williams ran for a seven-yard touchdown on the next play.

That score made it a 21-14 Jets lead and they added a Mason Crosby field goal in the final seconds to make it 21-17 at the break, which is a step in the right direction for Green Bay after they fell behind 14-0 in the second quarter.
