### Packers Command Halftime Lead Over Cardinals with Impressive Performance
In a highly anticipated clash at Lambeau Field, the Green Bay Packers began a crucial stretch of home games by taking a commanding 24-10 lead over the Arizona Cardinals at halftime. This marked a strong start to a series where the Packers will play five out of their next seven games at home.
The Packers’ offense, under the command of quarterback Jordan Love, made its presence felt early on. A 14-yard run by Josh Jacobs and a quick touchdown pass to Jayden Reed gave Green Bay an early 7-0 advantage. The Packers' defense set the tone by forcing a quick three-and-out, thanks to pressure on Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray that disrupted their rhythm right from the start.
The Packers extended their lead to 14-0 with another touchdown in the first quarter. Love connected with Romeo Doubs, who broke a tackle to find the end zone, capping off an 11-minute possession. This offensive prowess continued as Ben Sims hauled in a 28-yard reception, facilitating a Brayden Narveson field goal to make the score 17-0.
Green Bay’s defense kept the pressure on, leading to another three-and-out for the Cardinals. The Packers capitalized on the ensuing possession with a spectacular 44-yard touchdown pass from Love to Christian Watson, boosting their lead to 24-0.
However, the Cardinals found some respite thanks to an unnecessary roughness penalty on Jaire Alexander. This set up a touchdown pass from Murray to Michael Wilson, cutting Green Bay’s lead to 24-7. With just under two minutes left in the half, a slip by Packers receiver Bo Melton led to an interception, allowing the Cardinals to inch closer with a 38-yard field goal by Chad Ryland, concluding the half at 24-10.
The Packers' strong showing was bolstered by the return of key players, including Jaire Alexander, Christian Watson, and Romeo Doubs, who provided Love with a full array of offensive options. With Devonte Wyatt being the only inactive starter for the Packers, their depth and ability to capitalize on opportunities have set the stage for a thrilling second half against the Cardinals.
