Itwas supposed to be a Sunday night shootout between two of football's premier quarterbacks.Instead,Aaron Rodgers and Eli Manning tried to one-up one another in theircomedy of errors. When the dust settled, itwas Manning's New York Giants who were far worse, and the Green Bay Packers came away with the ugly 23-16 victoryat Lambeau Field.An abundance of injuries set the table for the opposite to happen, with both teams mi sing key players in their secondaries.MORE: Giants-Packers news, info, highlights, statsAccordingly, Rodgers got off the a great start, and Cameron Brate Jersey the Packers quickly built a 14-3 lead midway through the second quarter thanks to a strong running game anda pair of touchdown strikes to Jordy Nelson andDavante Adams. By that point they had outpaced the Giants in total yardage,221-78, but somehow things devolved when New York's top two cornerbacks,Eli Apple and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, exited the game with groin Clinton McDonald Jersey injuries.On Green Bay's next po se sion, Rodgers was intercepted by Janoris Jenkins for the second time on a poorly thrown ball to Adams, squandering a scoring opportunity. They wouldn't find the end zone again, and Rodgers, despite ample time in the pocket,finished 23 of 45 for259 yards and a season-worst65.0 quarterback rating.It was the first time Rodgers threw multiple interceptions in a game since Week 5 last season.STEELE:Back to earth for Wentz, EaglesThankfully for the Packers, Manning was much worse.Manning mi sed wide open Giants receivers and completed just three of eight pa ses throwing to top target Odell Beckham Jr. in the first half as drives sputtered. His second-quarter fumble set up the Packers on the Giants' 31-yard line, andMason Crosby kicked his first of three field goals togiveGreen Bay a17-6 halftime lead.Manning barely completed 50 percent of his Lavonte David Jersey pa ses for the second straight week, finishing 18 of 35 for 199 yards. And those stats were padded on the Giants' final drive, which ended in an 8-yard touchdown pa s to Beckham to pull to within one score with 2:54 to play. It was nothing but pig lipstick as the Packers ran out the clock.It was Beckham's first touchdown catch of the season.WATCH: Beckham befriends kicking net, ending feudThe Packers improved Kendell Beckwith Jersey to 3-1, but it came at the expense of injuries to Eddie Lacy (ankle) and Randall Cobb (head/neck). Cobb, who led the Packers with 108 yards on nine catches, exited on the final drive of the game after taking a hit above the shoulders.The Giantsare 2-3 and in last place in the NFC East after a high-spending offseason has been slow to pay off.
