Chris Lempesis is back to break down Green Bay’s nail-biter 27–23 road win over the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium in Glendale. The Packers didn’t play their cleanest football—third-down issues, odd situational calls, and the usual special-teams heartburn—but they had Micah Parsons, and that was enough. Chris details Parsons’ Reggie-esque takeover (3 sacks, 4 TFLs, 10 pressures), why each sack flipped the game state, and how Green Bay’s defense found just enough “closer” energy late.
On offense, Chris talks the second-half pivot to Josh Jacobs and Tucker Kraft, how Matt LaFleur finally rode his best horses on the go-ahead drive, Jordan Love’s poise without forcing a hero-ball mistake, and Lucas Havrisik’s bomb from 61 yards as the first-half buzzer sounded. He also hits the stuff that still isn’t complimentary football—third-down slog, penalties, and coverage lapses that made Jacoby Brissett look too comfy.
As always, he closes with a sampling of listener questions from X/BlueSky/Email and tees up Tuesday night’s mailbag. A win is a win—especially when your new game-wrecker slams the door.
