Green Bay Packers vs Jacksonville Jaguars Half Time
Green Bay Packers have the lead at half time in the week 8 game with Jacksonville Jaguars.
You gotta hand it to the defense for stopping the drive of Jacksonville and even more credit goes to the special teams play on the blocked kick which is then recovered in the end zone for a touchdown by the Packers. This extends their lead to 14 to 3 mid way in the second quarter.
The Jacksonville defense did their job good late in the 2nd quarter and keeps Green Bay from getting more points and has the ball and gets to mid field just before the 2 minute warning.
This drive by the Jaguars is likely the best they have had in the first half and they get a first down around the 10 yard line at the 2 minute warning giving them 4 downs and 2 minutes to score.
But the Packer defense is strong and the Jags had a missed opportunity and they take the field goal. Jacksonville may take a deficit of more than one touchdown in to the locker room.
Green Bay gets the ball back with 1 minute and 3 seconds on their last attempt before the half. On the first down the Jaguar defense is able to penetrate the offensive line and manage to turn the ball over and recover giving them another shot at scoring.
Jacksonville is able to score the touchdown and take the risk and go for the 2 point conversion. They do not conver the 2 points but they have reduced the Green Bay lead. The half time score is Jacksonville 12 to Green Bay 14.
