Josh Jacobs runs for 2 TDs, Micah Parsons has 3 sacks as Packers rally past Cardinals 27-23

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The majority of this road trip didn’t go well for the Green Bay Packers, who waited on a tarmac several hours because of travel delays on Saturday before falling into a 10-point hole in the first half on Sunday.

Thanks largely to Josh Jacobs and Micah Parsons, a potentially frustrating weekend had a happy ending.

Jacobs ran for a go-ahead, 1-yard touchdown with 1:50 remaining, Parsons had a career-high three sacks and the Packers rallied from an early deficit to beat the Arizona Cardinals 27-23.

“From the moment we got on the trip, nothing seemed to go right,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said. “Then in-game, there were a lot of things that didn’t go right. But the guys kept battling and that’s what it takes in this league.”

Green Bay (4-1-1) fought through a sluggish first half to win its first road game of the season. The Packers had plenty of adversity even before the kickoff — the team’s travel was delayed roughly five hours on Saturday because of mechanical issues with their airplane in Wisconsin.

Parsons said the team spent the lengthy downtime playing cards and bonding. That camaraderie came in handy on Sunday.
