Packers face Cardinals in preseason finale

The Green Bay Packers will take their turn hosting a preseason game on Friday when they welcome the Arizona Cardinals.

 

Play by either teams' starters is expected to be somewhere between minimal to non-existent after the two teams held their joint practice on Wednesday.

 

The Packers are coming off a strong 33-13 win over the Denver Broncos last Friday night. Jordan Love led a scoring drive for the second straight week, this time culminating in an 11-yard touchdown pass to Marshawn Lloyd. After allowing 10 straight points to the Broncos, the Packers scored 16 unanswered, including a 2-yard pass from Tyrod Taylor to Will Sheppard and three field goals from Trey Smack, two from 50-plus yards. The game was well in hand before the Packers scored the final 10 points, including a short touchdown run by Jaden Nixon. Kyle McCord led the Packers with 118 passing yards, while Taylor and Love each threw a touchdown pass. Pierre Strong paced the rushing attack with 37 yards, while Nixon added another 20 on the ground. Sheppard and Isaiah Neyor each had 47 receiving yards, though Sheppard had three more receptions than Neyor with six.

 

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
