Privacy Policy.<\/a><\/p>\nGreen Bay (9-6-1) lost its third straight, enabling the Chicago Bears to clinch the NFC North title. The Packers already clinched a playoff berth on Thursday when the Detroit Lions lost 23-10 at Minnesota.<\/p>\n
Both teams were missing their starting quarterbacks as Baltimore\u2019s Lamar Jackson deals with a back injury while Green Bay\u2019s Jordan Love is in concussion protocol. The two replacement starters \u2014 Baltimore\u2019s Tyler Huntley and Green Bay\u2019s Malik Willis \u2014 were both effective in a game that featured only one punt.<\/p>\n
Willis went 18 of 21 for a career-high 288 yards and one touchdown, and he also rushed for 60 yards and two touchdowns before leaving after aggravating a shoulder injury midway through the fourth quarter. Huntley was 16 of 20 for 107 yards with one touchdown.<\/p>\n
The difference in the game was Green Bay\u2019s inability to slow down Henry, who helped the Ravens outrush the Packers 307-79.<\/p>\n
Henry didn\u2019t touch the ball in Baltimore\u2019s final two series last weekend as the Ravens blew an 11-point, fourth quarter in a 28-24 loss to New England that put their playoff hopes on life support. The veteran running back\u2019s lack of fourth-quarter usage was a hot topic around Baltimore all week.<\/p>\n
The Ravens made sure he got the ball early and often Saturday. Henry\u2019s dominance enabled the Ravens to score on their first five possessions and take a 27-14 halftime lead over Green Bay, which hadn\u2019t allowed more than 24 points in 14 straight home games.<\/p>\n
Henry totaled 15 carries in Baltimore\u2019s first two series and capped each of them with touchdown runs, from 3 yards and 1 yard away. He was the first player to have at least 15 carries in his team\u2019s first two offensive series since Denver\u2019s Olandis Gary against Green Bay in 1999.<\/p>\n
He added another 3-yard touchdown with 10 seconds left in the second quarter.<\/p>\n
Green Bay got back into the game by outscoring Baltimore 10-0 in the third quarter.<\/p>\n
After Brandon McManus kicked a 24-yard field goal, the Packers forced the first punt of the night. Willis then ran around right end for an 11-yard touchdown to make it 27-24 with 2:02 left in the third.<\/p>\n
But the Ravens responded on their next series.<\/p>\n
Henry ran for a 9-yard gain on third-and-5 from Baltimore\u2019s 20. He closed the third quarter with a 30-yard burst up the right sideline. Those two plays set up Huntley\u2019s 10-yard touchdown pass to Zay Flowers, which came on a third-and-8 play with 10:10 left.<\/p>\n
Willis drove the Packers into Baltimore territory before hurting his shoulder and heading to the locker room. Clayton Tune took over, and his only pass was intercepted by Marlon Humphrey.<\/p>\n
Henry added the knockout punch a few minutes later.<\/p>\n
Injuries<\/p>\n
It was a painful night in every respect for the Packers.<\/p>\n
Green Bay safety Zayne Anderson (ankle), defensive lineman Jordon Riley (Achilles) and cornerback Kamal Hadden (ankle) were carted into the locker room. Cornerback Nate Hobbs suffered a knee injury and receiver Dontayvion Wicks was evaluated for a concussion.<\/p>\n
Right tackle Zach Tom (back\/knee) and receiver Savion Williams (foot) joined Love in sitting out Saturday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n
