In front of an energetic crowd of 62,572 spectators, the Green Bay Packers showcased their defensive capabilities by recording four sacks and eight tackles for loss. The defense was relentless throughout the game, blitzing on thirty occasions and hurrying the quarterback once. They also managed to hit the opposing quarterback six times and defended four passes effectively. A notable highlight was an interception that they returned for nine yards.


On special teams, Green Bay's punting unit worked hard with four attempts totaling 184 yards and an average hang time of over four seconds per punt. One punt landed inside the twenty-yard line while maintaining a net yardage average close to forty-five yards.


Offensively, however, it was a challenging day for Green Bay as they struggled to convert opportunities into points. The passing game saw sixteen completions out of thirty attempts but suffered three interceptions and five dropped passes which hindered their progress downfield. Despite these setbacks, one pass did connect for a significant seventy-seven-yard gain.


The rushing attack provided some balance to their offense with twenty-five carries amounting to 110 yards; this included a touchdown run that covered five yards into the end zone. Their ground game averaged over four yards per carry and earned them nine first downs.


Kicking was one area where Green Bay excelled without fault; two field goal attempts were successful from within thirty-nine yards out contributing six points to their total score.


Despite these efforts by Green Bay Packers players across various facets of play – from defense through special teams to offense – it wasn't enough as they fell short by just four points against Las Vegas Raiders who capitalized on key moments better throughout this Week Five matchup.
