  "account": "EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — In overtime, Trey Smack connected a 26-yard field goal, enabling the Green Bay Packers to defeat the New York Jets 20-17, putting an end to a six-game losing streak. Jordan Love contributed with two touchdown passes, leading the Packers (1-1) while the Jets (1-1) faltered in their home opener. The Packers endured a challenging start when Jayden Reed and Zach Bako-Bewele were injured on back-to-back plays during the opening drive; Reed suffered a neck injury, and Bako-Bewele suffered a knee injury. Despite the early setbacks, the Jets took advantage and won the overtime coin toss, opting to receive the ball. However, Geno Smith faced early pressure from Barryn Sorrell and Lukas Van Ness, and Isaiah Williams' false start led to a third-and-30 situation. Kenyon Sadiq caught a 12-yard pass, but New York was forced to punt. Kaleb Johnson rushed for 14 yards, and Love connected with Chris Brooks for a 15-yard gain. After Matthew Golden's 14-yard reception, Matt LaFleur chose to attempt a field goal, which Trey Smack successfully executed, securing a 20-17 victory for the Packers.",
