**Packers Win Nail-Biter Against Texans with McManus' Last-Second Field Goal**

The Green Bay Packers secured a thrilling victory against the Houston Texans on Sunday at Lambeau Field, thanks to Brandon McManus' dramatic 45-yard field goal as time expired. Despite a timeout attempt by DeMeco Ryans to ice him, McManus successfully nailed the kick, marking a memorable moment for the veteran kicker, who had only joined the Packers four days prior in a midweek trade.

The game featured seven lead changes, with the final switch coming in the last seconds. After the Texans briefly took a 22-21 lead with just 1:44 left on the clock, Packers' quarterback Jordan Love orchestrated an impressive 44-yard drive in eight plays. This effort positioned McManus for his decisive kick, which he executed flawlessly, even after an initial successful kick was nullified by a Texans' timeout.

Despite three turnovers and sporadic offensive performance, the Packers managed to showcase crucial plays. Love delivered three touchdown passes while Green Bay's defense sacked Texans' QB C.J. Stroud four times. The teamwork culminated in McManus’ clutch field goal, sealing the Packers' third consecutive win.

Key contributions on the final drive included completions from Love to Tucker Kraft for eight yards, Dontayvion Wicks for 12 yards, and Romeo Doubs for a combined 19 yards. These plays set the stage for McManus’ game-winning field goal.

Credit must also be given to Daniel Whelan for his crucial hold on a poor snap, enabling McManus to convert the kick. The Packers now stand at 5-2 overall and 3-1 at home. They have enjoyed recent victories against the Los Angeles Rams, Arizona Cardinals, and Texans.

Next, the Packers will travel to Jacksonville to face the Jaguars, who currently hold a 2-5 record. Fans can follow all the latest coverage of the Green Bay Packers at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and Packers Wire.
