Despite briefly losing Jordan Love to a shoulder injury, the Green Bay Packers managed to storm back and hand the New York Giants their fifth straight loss.
Backup quarterback Malik Willis stepped in and threw a touchdown in the first quarter during Love’s brief absence.
The Giants entered the game with quarterback concerns of their own as rookie starter Jaxson Dart was ruled out with a concussion. Before Sunday’s game started, ESPN reported that individuals within the Giants organization urged Dart “to exercise more caution in when and how often he scrambles when he returns to the field.”

Dart has provided a spark to the Giants’ offense since supplanting veteran signal-caller Russell Wilson. But Dart suffered a hit and was forced into the blue medical tent to be evaluated for a concussion in New York’s 24-20 loss to the Chicago Bears last week.
Dart has visited the tent several times in his rookie season, something Jacobs hopes the young quarterback can avoid in the future by exercising more caution when on the football field.

“You gotta get down, man. You gotta learn to slide, you gotta learn to get out of bounds when you have to,” Jacobs told TMZ Sports. “This is not a rough sport for you to run, run into people, try to load people.”

Jacobs added, “Just taking that type of beating all game long is never going to be in his favor. It’s never going to be in our team’s favor!”

Jacobs also offered some words of wisdom to fellow teammate Cam Skattebo, who suffered a season-ending ankle injury last month. “Listen to the doctors,” he said, “and try not to do more than you’re supposed to.”
Sunday’s loss dropped the Giants to 2-9. Earlier this week, the franchise parted ways with head coach Brian Daboll.
