S Xavier McKinney has intercepted a pass in each of his first three games.. CB Jaire Alexander scored his first career touchdown on a 35-yard interception return. Stock down After totaling 235 yards rushing in his first two games with the Packers, Josh Jacobs was limited to 43 yards on 14 attempts Sunday.. OT Rasheed Walker was penalized for holding and illegal use of hands.. LG Elgton Jenkins committed two holding penalties. Key number 612 — The Packers’ yards rushing through their first three games.
