Lions kept it respectable. Packers still won by 8. Jayden Reed did the catching for Packers — 4 catches, 103 yards, 1 TD. Josh Jacobs carried the load for Packers — 18 carries, 92 yards, 1 TD. Total yards: Packers 361, Lions 269.

Kayla James: "Houston's defense turned Green Bay's running game into a ghost story — 43 rushing yards is not football, it's surrender — and when your offense can't find the field either, 35-7 tells you everything about which team showed up ready to close out the season."

Houston put on a clinic Sunday, beating Green Bay 35-7 in a game that looked decided early. The Texans controlled the line of scrimmage—267 rushing yards to GB's 43—while Jaylin Noel caught 6 passes for 117 yards and a touchdown and Trey Benson ran 24 times for 87. The Pack couldn't establish anything on the ground or in the air, finishing with 189 total yards and turning the ball over 3 times. This is what happens when one team shows up ready to play and the other doesn't find its footing.

31-25 to Packers, and it went about how it looked. Josh Allen was steady for Bills — 26/33, 245 yards, 3 TD — in a losing effort. Jordan Love did the damage for Packers — 21/33, 214 yards, 1 TD. On the ground: Packers 164, Bills 74.

A 3-point game to the end, and Packers had it 17-14. Josh Jacobs carried the load for Packers — 19 carries, 92 yards. De'Von Achane carried the load for Dolphins — 9 carries, 68 yards — in a losing effort. Through the air: Dolphins 116, Packers 101.

Vikings were never troubled, putting Packers away 41-20. J.J. McCarthy was steady for Vikings — 19/27, 298 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT. Jordan Love was steady for Packers — 22/49, 324 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT — in a losing effort. That is 4 straight games over 250 for J.J. McCarthy. On the ground: Vikings 130, Packers 76.

Green Bay beat Carolina 28-11 in Week 8, dominating on both sides of the line of scrimmage. Jordan Love completed 26 of 45 passes for 346 yards and 2 touchdowns, while Christian Watson caught 7 for 115 yards and a score as the Packers piled up 486 total yards to Carolina's 273. The Panthers allowed 6 sacks and managed just 210 passing yards from Bryce Young on 21 of 41 completions, surrendering 140 rushing yards in the process. Green Bay's defense was relentless and Carolina's pass protection broke down early and often.

The Cowboys demolished Green Bay 71-45 in Week 6, extending their undefeated record to 6-0 while the Packers fell to 1-5. Dak Prescott was masterful, completing 36 of 40 passes for 672 yards and 10 touchdowns with 1 interception, while Bryce Lance caught 6 passes for 189 yards and 3 scores. Jordan Love had his best performance of the season with 412 passing yards and 4 touchdowns, but also threw 4 interceptions as Green Bay committed 4 total giveaways to Dallas's 1. The Cowboys dominated through the air, 672 yards to 412, and compiled 703 total yards against the Packers' 521.
