For this assignment, I chose to write about the Green Bay Packers’ game against the Arizona Cardinals that took place Sunday, Oct. 19. 

The Green Bay Packers pushed through a long travel day to earn their first road win of the season, beating the Arizona Cardinals 27-23 on Sunday at State Farm Stadium. The current standings of the Green Bay Packers are four wins, one loss, and one tie.  

During the fourth quarter, the Green Bay Packers showed strength and determination to win the game. Running back Josh Jacobs scored a touchdown with 1:50 left, sealing the victory and showing the team’s grit on both sides of the ball.

The Packers fell behind at halftime, but they gained momentum when kicker Lucas Havrisik nailed a 61-yard field goal, now the longest in franchise history. Green Bay opened the third quarter with a touchdown run by Josh Jacobs. Quarterback Jordan Love then threw another touchdown to tight end Tucker Kraft midway through the fourth quarter. 

On defense, linebacker Micah Parsons recorded three sacks against the Cardinals, including an important takedown on Arizona’s final drive that helped secure the win. Cornerback Jaire Alexander also had strong coverage near the end of the game. The Cardinals’ final pass attempt was incomplete in the end zone.

Head Coach Matt LaFleur praised the team after they experienced a travel delay on their way to Arizona. The team’s plane had a mechanical issue on Saturday, which resulted in a delay of over five hours. A new plane had to be brought from Detroit to take the players and coaches to Phoenix. 

This was the first win away from Lambeau Field this season. The next game will be Oct. 26 against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium.

The Green Bay Packers will be playing the Cincinnati Bengals next Sunday, October 12, at 4:25 p.m. at Lambeau Field. 

Green Bay Packers: 

The Packers are coming off a bye week, ready to go up against the Bengals. The Packers are 2-1-1, having tied the Cowboys in overtime. Quarterback Jordan Love is consistent and looks strong going into Week 6. Wide receiver Romeo Doubs and tight end Luke Musgrave seem to be Love’s targets and strong components within the Packers’ offense. 

Defensively, Micah Parsons has 2.5 sacks and 9 quarterback pressures so far this season. Rashan Gary leads the team with 4.5 sacks and 17 total tackles. Defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley runs plays so Parsons and Gary can create pressure.

Opponent Insight: Cincinnati Bengals 

The Cincinnati Bengals come into Week 6 with a 2–3 record. Quarterback Joe Burrow is injured, so head coach Zac Taylor is looking to Brett Rypien and Sean Clifford to perform to their best potential. The team is looking for reliability and adaptability when facing the Packers in Week 6. 

Wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase is an absolute standout for the Bengals, as he has 3 touchdowns so far this season. Tee Higgins follows Ja’Marr Chase with two touchdowns. 

Defensively, Trey Hendrickson leads the league in pressures. In the Bengals’ most recent game against the Lions, Hendrickson recorded a strip-sack against quarterback Jared Goff. The defensive coordinator for the Bengals also stated that Hendrickson is a leader even off the field.

Key Strengths:

• Having Micah Parsons on the defense has changed the line for the better. This addition allows for simpler defensive plays that make a greater impact. 

• In the first few games of the season, quarterback Jordan Love has shown good timing with his passes on third downs. This demonstrates precise and quick decision-making. 

• Ja’Marr Chase is a strong receiver for the Bengals, and Tee Higgins provides another threat and makes good connections with Burrow. 

• Demetrius Knight Jr., the rookie linebacker, made an immediate impact with his tackling ability, which made him a key part of the defense.

You can usually find Hanna Hertzberg buried deep in her computer screen, cranking out a full day’s worth of work in an hour or two right before it’s due at 11:59 p.m. Some may say that’s a bad quality, to be a procrastinator that is, but I’d say that’s just who she is, as she’s been my best friend for 15 years. When we were kids, you could usually find us outside playing a game of kickball with the hooligan neighbor kids and having deep conversations on the light-green electrical box, as deep as conversations can be when you’re six years old. Hanna would go on and on about how she wanted to be a sports broadcaster when she grew up, but she ended up becoming a sustainability and the built environment major at the University of Florida. She grew up in the Land O’ Lakes and Lutz area of Florida and went to Oakstead Elementary School, Rushe Middle School, and Plant High School, where she rowed for the crew team and placed sixth in the nation. She always knew she wanted to attend UF, so she applied her senior year of high school and was accepted into the Santa Fe transfer program. She spent one year at Santa Fe before transferring to UF. During her first year at UF, she joined Alpha Rho Chi Fraternity, a professional fraternity focused on architecture and allied arts, where she learned how to be more involved with the school. Now, she is a senior and recently completed her first internship last summer with Moss Construction as a project management intern. During her internship, she worked at the Swamp Cabbage Solar Energy Center in Fort Myers, Florida. She tracked construction progress through field observations and installation quantities. She was certified with OSHA and also learned how to use construction management software such as Procore, Bluebeam, and PlanGrid. This wasn’t her first job. Over the past couple of summers, she worked at an ice cream shop in Dunedin called Strachan’s Homemade Ice Cream & Desserts, where she scooped ice cream for people during Florida’s brutally hot summers. Hanna always had fun at this job because she got to work with her best friend, also known as me. Her favorite memory from the ice cream shop days was when we recreated a viral video at the time of a customer asking for a certain flavor of ice cream, giving them the wrong flavor, and then me throwing the ice cream in her face. The video went semi-viral on TikTok, and we got over 5,000 views. She mentioned that getting the vanilla custard out of her hair was not the most fun, but it was worth it. Our boss even saw it and thought it was hilarious, so a win is a win. Graduating in spring 2026, Hanna isn’t really sure where life is going to take her, as she wants to do a lot of things. Some of her options are joining the Navy, traveling for a little while, or settling down with a job at either Moss Construction or CPPI Construction.
