Ryan Fitzgerald, a Florida State rookie in his first NFL season, hit a 49-yard field goal as the clock hit zero and Carolina walked out of Lambeau Field with a 16-13 win on November 2, 2025. The Packers never punted, reached the Carolina 35 on six of their seven possessions, outgained the Panthers 369-265, and went 1 for 5 in the red zone. Rico Dowdle ran 25 times for 130 yards and two touchdowns behind an injury-riddled offensive line against a Green Bay defense that entered the day ranked third in the NFL against the run, and that was enough.

Fitzgerald missed a 48-yard extra point into a 15 MPH wind after Dowdle’s second touchdown. Carolina won the coin toss and elected to receive — a calculated call by head coach Dave Canales to have the wind at the Panthers’ backs at game’s end. Green Bay tied it on Jacobs’ 1-yard run with 2:32 left, then Dowdle’s 19-yard carry set up the walk-off kick.

Individual passing yards are gross totals before sack yardage is deducted. Green Bay’s team net passing (265) reflects the 8-yard sack loss. Love, playing on his 27th birthday, surpassed 10,000 career passing yards during the game — reaching the mark in 1,308 attempts, second fastest in Packers history behind Aaron Rodgers (1,299).

McKinney recorded a strip sack of Bryce Young in the third quarter; Chuba Hubbard recovered for an 8-yard gain. McKinney also had an interception in the red zone that was ruled a touchback. Keisean Nixon drew a pass interference penalty in the end zone on third-and-goal that set up Dowdle’s second touchdown. Micah Parsons listed here is a Green Bay linebacker, not the Dallas Cowboys pass rusher of the same name.

McManus made from 49 and 27 yards; missed from 43. The miss came in the third quarter with Green Bay trailing 7-6 and would have put the Packers ahead. Fitzgerald’s missed PAT — a 48-yard attempt after Dowdle’s celebration drew an unsportsmanlike conduct flag — directly allowed Green Bay to tie without going for two following Jacobs’ late touchdown.

Moehrig’s 36-yard interception return set up a Carolina touchdown. Williams lost a fumble in the red zone, ending one of Green Bay’s most promising scoring opportunities. Young’s fumble, forced by McKinney’s strip sack, was recovered by Hubbard for an 8-yard gain.

Jordan Love went 26 of 37 for 273 yards on his 27th birthday and finished on the losing end of a game Green Bay had every statistical reason to win. The Packers outgained Carolina by 104 yards, converted 7 of 13 third downs, reached the end zone once, and punted zero times.
