Packers vs. Broncos live updates: Potential Super Bowl matchup as Green Bay looks to knock off AFC's top seed

The powerhouse Packers and Broncos both have work to do to wrap up their respective divisions

Billed a potential Super Bowl preview, Broncos-Packers is very much delivering through two quarters. Jordan Love and Bo Nix are both dealing, and a Brandon McManus field goal with two seconds in the half gave Green Bay a 16-14 lead.

Love is 17-for-21 for 215 yards and a score; Nix is 11 for 12 for 122 yards and two scores. The game has already featured four lead changes.

The Packers scored field goals on both of their first two drives -- the first set up by a Micah Parsons forced fumble. But Nix and Denver settled in, and Nix found Michael Bandy for a 20-yard touchdown. It was Bandy's first career score.

Then Love hit back with the top highlight of the game so far: a 14-yard touchdown to Josh Jacobs, who made a terrific play holding onto the ball in heavy coverage.

Nix answered with a six-play, 72-yard drive highlighted by a 42-yarder to Courtland Sutton and capped by a 5-yarder to Lil'Jordan Humphrey.

Two quarterbacks on fire? Two excellent defenses? This one has the makings of a thriller, so stay with us for analysis throughout the second half below.

Patrick Surtain II makes incredible play, and Christian Watson is hurt

Two massive developments here. First, Surtain's play on the ball. Second, Watson is down.

The reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Surtain has battled a pec injury and didn't have an interception this season until this one. It's exactly what Denver needed after Green Bay opened the second half with a touchdown and Denver failed to answer.

We won't speculate on Watson, but he has been so good this season since coming back from his ACL tear.

Touchdown Packers: Josh Jacobs, have yourself a day

No practice Wednesday. No practice Thursday. Nagging knee injury bothering him for weeks.

Josh Jacobs just keeps going. This is his second touchdown of the day.

It's worth noting this play came right after Riley Moss got called for pass interference; I wasn't sure that flag should have been thrown, but Green Bay certainly isn't complaining.

Bo Nix hits a deep one

42 yards to Courtland Sutton. Nix only has one incompletion, but he hadn't gotten a ton going downfield before this:

Touchdown Packers: What a catch by Josh Jacobs!

This is only Jacobs' second career touchdown catch, but it looks like he's been doing it for ages.

Jacobs, who was questionable entering the game, really got going on that drive as Green Bay took the lead back.

Jayden Reed adds such a huge component to the Packers' attack

Reed already has four catches for 54 yards. He beats man coverage, has great quickness and run-after-catch ability and simply just provides a different threat compared to Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs. A major addition coming back from his broken collarbone.

Touchdown Broncos: Michael Bandy scores

Welcome to the end zone, Michael Bandy! The journeyman wide receiver scores his first career touchdown after Bo Nix did a great job extending the play.

After two unproductive drives, Denver went 70 yards on 10 plays to take its first lead.

Jordan Love on an absolute heater

Love is 6 for 6 for 77 yards. He has found five different wide receivers. He's playing at an absolute MVP level, and his absurd arm talent really lets Matt LaFleur access all parts of his playbook. Love is hitting on straight dropbacks and play action, and doing so all over the field.
