How to watch Giants-Packers in the NFL London Game 2022
For the second straight week, the NFL Sunday lineup will include a game in London, England. This week’s game is between the New York Giants and the Green Bay Packers.
Last week, fans who got up in time for the game got a treat. The Vikings beat the Saints 28-25 and the fans saw a great finish. Saints kicker Will Lutz hit a 60-yard field goal to level the game at 25 apiece before Vikings kicker Greg Joseph hit a 47-yarder, his fifth field goal of the day, with 24 seconds left at three to make points. Remarkably, the Saints got back into the fringe of field goals and sent Lutz on a 61-yard field goal.
Lutz’s kick hit the goal post and then the crossbar, in a double doink similar to Cody Parkey’s in the 2018 playoffs.
Shockingly, this will be the first game in London in 32 attempts to feature two teams with winning records.
The Giants come into the game with a 3-1 record, their best start since their 2011 Super Bowl season. With a win, the Giants would go up 4-1, which would be their best start in five games since the opening 5-0 in the year 2009.
The Packers are also 3-1 and are on a three-game winning streak since losing to the Vikings in Week 1. They walked away with a win over the Patriots without Mac Jones last week. A win would see the Packers move up to 4-1 for the fourth straight game.
A Bears win and loss would also put the Packers in sole possession of the most wins of all time. The Bears have held this mark since December 3, 1921.

Giants vs. Packers record and history:
The Giants and Packers are two of the NFL’s original teams and their first matchup was a 6-0 win by the Giants on Oct. 7, 1928. The Packers have the upper hand in the all-time series with a 34-26-2 record in the head-to-head matches, including the postseason.
The postseason record also belongs to Green Bay, 5-3. The two teams’ first postseason matchup was the 1938 NFL Championship, which the Giants won 23-17 for their third title. The Packers attended the next four postseason meetings, all NFL championships before the Super Bowl. The Giants then prevailed over the Packers and pulled off two upsets in the 2007 NFC Championship and the 2011 NFC Divisional Round at Lambeau Field en route to the Super Bowl victory.
The Packers reclaimed the Giants in the 2016 wild card round, also at Lambeau.
The Giants are aiming for their first win over Green Bay since 2013 and their first win over Aaron Rodgers since the previous year.
What to expect:
The Packers offense got off to a slow start, showing weaknesses that the Giants defense will look to exploit. Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has already thrown three interceptions, which is about the amount he typically throws over an entire season. This could have something to do with not having a true #1 wide receiver to go to since Devante Adams was traded to Vegas this offseason.
The Giants were the league’s surprise team for the first four weeks. You played four One Possession games and won three of them. Running back Saquon Barkley finally looked the part with 463 rushing yards in 84 tries and 2 touchdowns.
The game should be closer than the experts say.
