October 12, 2025 | Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wisconsin | Attendance: 78,277 | Broadcast: CBS
Josh Jacobs vomited twice on the Lambeau Field sideline. He still ran 18 times for 93 yards and two touchdowns as the Green Bay Packers beat the Cincinnati Bengals 27-18 in Week 6 of the 2025 NFL season, with emergency kicker Lucas Havrisik — signed 24 hours before kickoff after Brandon McManus suffered a quad injury — making both his field goal attempts to close it out.

Flacco was acquired by Cincinnati from Cleveland on the Tuesday before this game — he had beaten these Packers in Week 3 wearing a Browns uniform. He went 29-of-45 but had five of his 16 incompletions in a first half that Cincinnati lost in total yardage 240-65. Love completed 73.1% of his throws and averaged 10.0 yards per attempt, with his one interception jumped by Geno Stone, who returned it 25 yards.

Green Bay out-rushed Cincinnati 153 to 55, a gap that was the visible story of the first half before Flacco found any rhythm. Jacobs scored on a 3-yard run in the second quarter and a 14-yard burst to open the fourth — both from a player who said he woke that morning feeling physically unable to play.

Chase led both receiving groups with 94 yards on 10 catches and scored on a Flacco throw on fourth-and-5 with 4:11 left to cut the margin to six. Tanner Hudson — who had zero catches through the first five weeks of the season — caught four passes for a score after Mike Gesicki left with a pectoral injury in the first half. For Green Bay, Matthew Golden’s 86 receiving yards came on three receptions at 28.7 yards per catch; Kraft’s 19-yard touchdown involved breaking a tackle at the line and driving through cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt to reach the end zone.

Cooper led all tacklers on the day with 11 stops. Van Ness recorded Green Bay’s one sack — a 6-yard loss on Flacco in the third quarter — and did not return, leaving with a foot injury that LaFleur later confirmed was not a fracture. Barrett Carter’s 10-tackle performance was the individual defensive highlight for Cincinnati, with Stone’s interception and 25-yard return the only turnover the Bengals generated.

Havrisik, whose only prior NFL appearances came with the Los Angeles Rams in 2023, hit from 43 and 39 yards in his first NFL game in two years. McPherson made a 45-yarder in the fourth quarter but was wide right on a 56-yard attempt with 41 seconds remaining. A 67-yard attempt at the end of the first half — which would have been an NFL record — was well short.

Cincinnati left Lambeau outgained by 141 yards, without a first-half touchdown for the fourth consecutive week, and 2-4 on the 2025 season. Green Bay moved to 3-1-1, having finally held a double-digit lead after surrendering 10-0 advantages in the two games immediately before the bye — a loss at Cleveland and a draw with Dallas — and 78,277 at Lambeau had something straightforward to go home with.
Elizabeth J. Luna founded Sports Player Stats in Los Angeles in April 2026, after close to two decades covering sport professionally across Europe and the United States. She grew up in Sweden, where football was less a hobby than a household religion, and carried that obsession west when she relocated to Los Angeles in her twenties. The NFL took hold quickly. So did the NBA. Eventually she was covering both alongside FIFA, cricket, MLB, hockey, and the WNBA, which tells you something about the kind of sports journalist she is. Her work has always started with match data and player statistics, not because numbers are the whole story, but because in her experience they are usually the most honest part of it. She launched Sports Player Stats because she wanted a publication that took every sport seriously on its own terms, one where a cricket innings and an NBA box score received the same standard of analysis. That standard is what she shows up to defend every day.
