At the end of the weekend, the reason for the Green Bay Packers and New York Giants being in London was to play a football game. It almost feels like that got forgotten amid all the pageantry and excitement around the Packers’ first visit to the UK, but the game itself still needs to come first and foremost.
Seemingly, the Packers themselves forgot that American football games are 60 minutes long.
Like every other game so far in the 2022 season, the Packers failed to put up a consistent, four-quarter performance. Green Bay jumped out to a 20-10 lead by halftime, but they gave up 17 straight points in the second half to fall behind by a touchdown in the fourth quarter.
