Breece Hall ran for 116 yards, including a 34-yard touchdown, and Quinten Williams had two of New York’s four sacks against Aaron Rodgers as the Jets won their third straight, 27-10 over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
Green Bay (3-3) has lost consecutive regular-season games within the same season for the first time since coach Matt LaFleur’s arrival in 2019. The Packers fell 27-22 to the New York Giants in London last week.
The Jets, whose offensive coordinator is LaFleur’s younger brother Mike, outrushed Green Bay 179-60 in a game during which Zach Wilson was just 10 of 18 for 110 yards.
Rodgers was asked after the game if he felt the Packers’ season was getting a little wobbly with the team falling to .500.
“We’ve got to be realistic of where we’re at,” said Rodgers, who went 26 of 41 for 246 yards with a touchdown. “We’ve played a couple of subpar games the last two. We’ve got to play better. But wobbly? Only if people are breaking rank. I think it’ll be interesting to look at the comments from all of our guys and coaches, and hopefully we stick together.
“That’s the important thing. Until I see us breaking ranks, I’m not going to say there’s any wobbliness going on.”
He said after the game his thumb was “a little sore” but added that it only impacted him on “maybe a couple (of throws), but not too many.”
New York broke a 3-all tie and pulled ahead for good by scoring two touchdowns in a span of less than 2 1/2 minutes in the third quarter.
Berrios gave the Jets the lead by scoring on a 20-yard end-around. After New York stopped Green Bay on its next possession, Michael Clemons blocked a punt and Will Parks got the ball and raced 20 yards into the end zone.
The Packers got back in the game as Rodgers threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Allen Lazard later in the third.
New York quickly resumed control.
Hall scored on his 34-yard burst to open the fourth quarter to make it 24-10, the longest run from scrimmage in the young career of the rookie second-round pick from Iowa State.
The Packers entered Sunday having won 20 of the last 21 home games Rodgers had started against AFC teams, including 11 straight victories. But the reigning MVP had a frustrating afternoon against the Jets’ promising young defense.
Packers OG Jake Hanson left with a biceps injury. … Packers WR Randall Cobb headed to the locker room on a cart after injuring an ankle in the third quarter. … Gardner was evaluated for a head injury in the fourth quarter.
The Packers are at Washington next Sunday.
Elsewhere in the NFC North Sunday the Vikings won at Miami 24-16 to up their record to 5-1 and a two-game lead in the division over the Packers. The Lions were off and the Bears lost at home Thursday night to Washington, 12-7.
Sunday night the Bills came back to win in Kansas City over the Chiefs 26-17 to remain undefeated at 6-0.
Tonight Denver is at Los Angeles to take on the Chargers.
In the ALDS Sunday the Yankees beat Cleveland 4-2 to tie their series at two games each. Tonight Cleveland plays at New York in game five.
In NLDS Saturday the Phillies beat the Braves 8-3 to win that series 3-1 and the Chargers beat the Dodgers 5-3 win that series 3-1. In the ALDS Houston nipped Seattle 1-0 to win that series 3-0 and Cleveland edged the Yankees 6-5.
Quarterback Payton Thorne threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jayden Reed in the second overtime Saturday to lift Michigan State to a 34-28 victory over Wisconsin.
The win snapped a four-game losing streak for the Spartans (3-4, 1-3 Big 10 Conference). It is the first loss for Wisconsin’s interim coach Jim Leonhard who replaced Paul Chryst two weeks ago.
The game-winning throw was set up after Michigan State’s Jacoby Windmon stripped the ball from Braelon Allen on the first play of the second overtime and defensive tackle Dashaun Mallory pounced on the ball. Three plays later, Thorne hit Reed in the right corner of the end zone with the game-winner.
On the first play of the first overtime, Reed threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Keon Coleman at the goal line, giving the Spartans a 28-21 lead.
Wisconsin’s Graham Mertz tied the game when he connected with Chimere Dike on a 25-yard scoring pass.
After Michigan State took a 21-14 lead, Mertz marched the Badgers 52 yards to even the game at 21 with 2:04 remaining on his 3-yard touchdown pass to Keontez Lewis.
On the ensuing possession the Spartans had an opportunity to win the game in regulation by driving to the Badgers’ 29-yard line. However, a bad snap on a 37-yard field goal forced holder Bryce Baringer to throw a pass that was intercepted by John Torchio.
Trailing 14-7 at halftime, Michigan State’s Elijah Collins tied the game at 14 with 54 seconds remaining in the third quarter when he capped an eight-play, 97-yard drive with a 1-yard run. Tight end Maliq Carr keyed the march when he caught a 72-yard pass and was forced out at the Wisconsin 12 by Kamo’i Latu.
Thorne tossed a 29-yard scoring pass to Coleman with 7:23 left to give the Spartans a 21-14 lead. The drive was kept alive by two pass interference penalties, including one on fourth and 4 from the Badgers’ 44-yard line.
Allen put the Badgers (3-4, 1-3) on top 7-0 when he capped their first drive with a 1-yard dive over a pile on fourth and 1. He gained 31 of Wisconsin’s 63 yards on the drive.
Michigan State tied it at 7 with 20 seconds left in the first when Wisconsin transfer Jalen Berger broke free for a 12-yard touchdown run. The score was set up following Windmon’s interception of Mertz at the Badgers’ 12-yard line.
Allen, who finished with 123 yards, gave Wisconsin a 14-7 lead on another 1-yard run early in the second. He started the 75-yard drive with a 34-yard before being run out of bounds.
The Badgers defense gave up 389 yards, its most since allowing 539 to Ohio State on Sept. 24. Wisconsin will need to improve their pass defense against Purdue to avoid a two-game losing streak.
In area college football Saturday Ripon College held on at Lake Forest College to win 16-14. The Red Hawks improve to 6-0 on the season and 5-0 in the conference. Ripon hosts the University of Chicago Saturday at 1:00 at Ingalls Field.

Packers guard Jon Runyan Jr. was fined for an incident in last weeks game against the Giants. The third-year player was fined $5,215 for leg-whipping an opponent in London, according to ESPN. Like every NFL player, Runyan received a letter explaining the discipline and warning further offense would mean escalating sanctions.
Unlike every NFL player, the letter came from Runyan’s father: NFL vice president of policy and rules administration Jon Runyan. That’ll make for some fun Thanksgiving conversation.
Father and son have apparently been well aware of the possible awkwardness, as Jon Jr. told ESPN:
“My dad and I always joked about this happening, but I never thought my style of play would ever warrant what he deemed to be unnecessary roughness, but it happened,” the younger Runyan told ESPN. “I thought since I left for college, I wouldn’t have to deal with him punishing me anymore, but I was wrong about that.”
The letter was reportedly signed “Sincerely Jon Runyan,” with no acknowledgement of the family dynamic at play. The elder Runyan clearly hasn’t allowed sentimentality to impact his fines, as he also fined Tom Brady, his former teammate and roommate from his time at Michigan, $11,139 for kicking another player this week. A former Pro Bowl offensive tackle for the Houston Oilers and Philadelphia Eagles, Runyan served two terms in Congress as a representative of New Jersey’s 3rd district and was named the NFL’s dean of discipline in 2016.
As for the son, Jon Jr. followed in his father’s footsteps at Michigan and was selected by the Packers in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL draft. His second year as a starter has gone quite well, as he has not allowed a single pressure in 167 pass-blocking snaps,.

The Green Bay Packers have announced that Bob Hyland of St. Mary’s Springs Academy in Fond du Lac, Wis., has been named the Packers High School Coach of the Week. The program is
presented by Buffalo Wild Wings.
Hyland, in his 52nd year as the varsity head coach of St. Mary’s Springs, led the Ledgers to a 35-7 victory over Lomira High School on Saturday, Oct. 8. While the win was key in keeping the team undefeated at 8-0 on the season, it also marked Hyland’s incredible 500th victory as head coach. Hyland has the most wins of any high school football coach in the history of Wisconsin, second most nationwide among active coaches and fourth most of all time. Prior to the WISAA joining the WIAA in 2000, Hyland and St. Mary’s Springs had racked up eight WISAA State Championships and six WISAA State Runner-Ups. As a member of the WIAA, Hyland and the Ledgers have won nine WIAA State Championships along with four WIAA State Runner-Ups. While the milestones have been a part of the journey, Hyland has always been more focused on giving back to the sport that has given him so much.
“Truly, I never really thought of it. I thought more about getting the first win. It took us almost two years,” said Hyland. “So, I never really thought of it until recent years when people kept bringing it up. I was never in the game for these accolades. I just love giving back to what I got from football. So, to get to 500, it really didn’t feel a whole lot different than any of the other games. It was just a number to me that I hit, and I still plan on coaching for another two years.”
Hyland grew up in Wisconsin Rapids where he graduated from Assumption High School in 1966. While in high school he participated in football, basketball, track and golf. As a member of the Royals, Hyland played outside linebacker and fullback under coach Don Penza. Following high school, Hyland went on to play football at North Dakota State University as a guard under coach Ron Erhardt. Throughout his college career, Hyland was twice named to the All-North Central Conference team and selected as the league’s outstanding offensive lineman of the year in 1969. He was inducted into the NDSU Bison Athletic Hall of Fame in 1981. Hyland’s coaching career began as a student assistant for the Bison in 1970. The following year he took over as head coach at St. Mary’s Springs.
Hyland is honored to win the award and sees it as a reflection of all the students and people who have helped him and the program over his career.
“The award is a great honor from the Green Bay Packers. It’s really an accumulation of a tremendous amount of players over the years and support from the school and their families to be able to do something like this,” Hyland said. “You don’t put 52 years in without having worked with a lot of people and having a lot of support behind you. It really means so much for the school to be recognized for this achievement.”
Hyland and his staff oversee a program of 65 players. His assistant staff includes Zach Wilderman, Kyle Krueger, Keven Grunwald, Joe Kemp, Kurt Krueger, Kyle Jefferson, Rob Hyland, Jim Baudry, Matt Knepfel and Nate Kaiser. Prior to retiring from teaching 12 years ago, Hyland was a math teacher at St. Mary’s Springs Academy. Hyland and his wife, Carol, have one son, Rob, and one daughter, Molly.
