It wasn’t pretty or easy, but the Green Bay Packers managed to pull off a big road win.
They needed a fourth-quarter touchdown and a big defensive stop to seal the deal against the Arizona Cardinals, but they did it.
The offense could’ve been a little more aggressive, but head coach Matt LaFleur remained committed to the run.
Even so, tight end Tucker Kraft had another strong outing, and he was crucial in the victory.
He made five receptions on a team-high 10 targets for 58 yards (second-most on the team) and caught Jordan Love’s only touchdown pass.
Following the game, Kraft made it clear that the Packers need to be better, but he firmly believes in his team’s ability.
“We just still have to play as a more cohesive unit across the board, all three. We’re still leaving some plays out there on offense. … It’s not about playing perfect, but just eliminating the bad. … It’s just important to lean on each other, because these 53 guys, it’s all we got,” Kraft said.

A third-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Kraft has emerged as one of the top pass-catching tight ends in the league.
He’s a coverage mismatch and a master at picking up yards after the catch.
The Packers have plenty of targets to feed, but Kraft has established himself as one of Love’s favorites, especially near the end zone.
In five games, Kraft has 23 receptions for 326 yards and four touchdowns.
The Packers will return to the road to take on Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8, and Kraft will likely play a crucial role in the passing game again.
