Takeaway and Tucker Kraft give the Packers the lead back against the Rams

The Green Bay Packers used another takeaway and another explosive play to retake the lead over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday at SoFi Stadium.

Xavier McKinney recovered a fumble caused by Kingsley Enagbare on the Rams’ first drive of the second half, and two plays later Jordan Love hit Tucker Kraft for a 66-yard touchdown pass, giving the Packers a 17-13 lead early in the third quarter took the lead.

Here’s the touchdown, which included a pressured throw by Love, a great run after the catch by Kraft, and a hustle block downfield by Dontayvion Wicks:

The Packers trailed 13-7 after Love threw a pick-six, but a 46-yard field goal by Brayden Narveson before halftime and the takeaway touchdown combination early in the third quarter put the Packers back in front the summit.

The 66-yard touchdown is the longest of Kraft’s career and the longest by a Packers tight end since 2012 (Tom Crabtree). He has two catches for 71 yards.

McKinney now has a lead in five straight games – four interceptions and a fumble recovery. Enagbare had a forced fumble in two of the last three games.
