GREEN BAY Packers edge rusher Nyjalik Kelly sacked Kedon Slovis, but Evan Hull's 1-yard touchdown run put the Cardinals back ahead of Green Bay 31-24 after three quarters.

Packers and Cardinals tied at 3 after first quarter

The Packers won the opening coin toss and elected to receive. Kyle McCord started at quarterback for Green Bay, which went three-and-out on its first possession after the Packers' first-year quarterback couldn't connect with Bo Melton on back-to-back throws.

Daniel Whelan placed a 55-yard punt near the Cardinals' sideline and linebacker T.J. Quinn punched the ball out from Ihmir Smith-Marsette's grasp, bouncing out of bounds at the 12.

Gardner Minshew moved the ball effectively during an 11-play opening scoring drive. The Packers held Arizona to a 35-yard Chad Ryland field goal after Arron Mosby broke up a first-down pass and Dani Dennis-Sutton sacked Minshew for a 10-yard sack on the next play.

Green Bay started from its own 35 after the touchback. McCord converted the initial first down with a 12-yard pass to Will Sheppard on a crossing route to the Cardinals' 40.

Isaiah Neyor gave Green Bay another first down when he ripped a pass away from cornerback Elijah Jones for a 9-yard completion on third-and-3.

Pierre Strong was tackled for a 4-yard loss on a first-down checkdown. Jaden Nixon gained seven yards on a third-and-11 draw to set up Trey Smack's 36-yard field goal to tie the game at 3 with 2 minutes, 16 seconds left in the first quarter.

Minshew hit Jalen Brooks for a 20-yard completion to push the ball to the Arizona 35. Smith-Marsette broke a tackle to extend a 19-yard completion to the Packers' 41, as the first quarter came to an end.

On the first play of the second quarter, Minshew threw a 41-yard touchdown to Simi Fehoko to put the Cardinals up 10-3.

The Packers came right back, though, with McCord finding J. Michael Sturdivant over the middle for a 36-yard completion and then a 29-yard touchdown on the very next play to tie the game at 10 with 14:06 left in the first half.

Kedon Slovis replaced Gardner Minshew at quarterback on the Cardinals' next series, but it was running back Evan Hull who kept the points coming. The second-year running back broke a 47-yard touchdown run up the middle to put Arizona back ahead 17-10 with 10:48 left in the first half.

Green Bay went three-and-out after Eku Leota and Zach Carter combined for a sack of McCord on third-and-6. The defense gave the Packers' offense the ball back, though, after Jaden Crumedy knocked down Slovis to force a pass that Nyjalik Kelly intercepted at the Arizona 28.

Damien Martinez broke a 15-yard run up the middle and then Sheppard extended a pass to the flat to a 12-yard touchdown to tie the game at 17 with 7:44 left in the first half.

The Cardinals converted the initial first down with a 4-yard pass to Reggie Virgil but were forced to punt after a holding penalty on second down.

Sheppard returned Jack Browning's punt 81 yards down for a touchdown down the left sideline to put the Packers ahead for the first time, 24-17, with 4:06 left in the first half.

Slovis led the Cardinals into Packers' territory before Jonathan Ford stopped Hull for no gain on first down and Slovis' third-and-6 pass fell incomplete. Green Bay took over at its 9 but went three-and-out and punted the ball back to the Cardinals with 59 seconds left.

Arizona took over at its 37 but lost seven yards when Anthony Campbell sacked Slovis on first down. Slovis worked out of it with a 22-yard pass to Smith-Marsette, who got out of bounds with 19 seconds left.

Fairweather caught a 20-yard pass to set up Ryland's 25-yard field goal to tie the game at 24 at halftime.

The second half began with Rivaldo Fairweather breaking a tackle and extending for a 33-yard pass to the Green Bay 27.

Slovis converted a fourth-and-2 with a 5-yard pass to Virgil to the Packers' 14. That's as far as the Cardinals would get, as they settled for a 27-yard Ryland field goal to cut Green Bay's lead to 24-23 with 9:30 left in the third quarter.

A holding penalty on Darian Kinnard set up first-and-18 after a Nixon 6-yard run. The Packers worked out of it when Sturdivant high-pointed a 17-yard pass from McCord on second-and-16.

McCord was sacked for a 13-yard loss but nearly converted on third-and-21 with a beautiful deep ball for Neyor, who dropped it. Arizona took over at its 33 after Daniel Whelan's 39-yard punt.

Kelly sacked Slovis on second down and Crumedy batted down a third-and-16 pass at the line of scrimmage to force the Cardinals three-and-out.

Green Bay gave the ball back to Arizona when Damien Martinez fumbled on first-and-10 from the 21. One minute later, Hull scored a 1-yard touchdown to put the Cardinals back up front 31-24 after a successful two-point conversion with 1:47 left in the third quarter.

McCord found an open Sturdivant for 21 yards and the first down at the Arizona 44. The play put Sturdivant over 100 receiving yards on the evening.
