After scoring a touchdown to tie up the score at 10-10, the Green Bay Packers tried to catch the New York Giants off guard with an onside kick. It didn't work out, and the Giants jumped on it to secure excellent field goal position. Manning hit Travis Beckum on the first play of the drive and Ahmad Bradshaw recorded a nine-yard run to get into field goal range, but the Giants came away empty thanks to a blocked kick by linebacker Brad Jones.

Though the Giants did well to get on top of the surprise onside kick, this is their second special teams gaffe of the afternoon. They set up the Packers' touchdown drive with a kickoff out of bounds, and now have allowed Jones to get around the edge to make this key block.
