The Green Bay Packers achieved an unprecedented feat in a thrilling overtime victory against the New York Jets on September 20, 2026, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The team overcame a series of setbacks, including injuries to Jayden Reed and Zach Bako Bewele, and managed to erase a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter.
Green Bay completed an extraordinary feat in NFL history by winning the game with 199 total yards, 133 penalty yards, and a negative turnover margin—a combination never seen before in a game since 1941. The Packers' win followed a six-game losing streak that ended with their last game last season. Quarterback Aaron Glenn threw for 145 yards but struggled to find open receivers due to extensive pressure from the Jets' defense.
