GREEN BAY – Whether it was Jordan Love or Malik Willis playing quarterback, the Packers once again had their share of explosive plays Sunday against the Jaguars.

It's become a hallmark of Green Bay's offense, so it's worth seeing how and why those big plays worked.

Play No. 1: First-and-10 from the Green Bay 8, first quarter, 6:11 left

Result: 29-yard completion to WR Romeo Doubs

Backed up by their own goal line for the second straight time early in the game, the Packers wasted no time getting out of the hole. Throwing the ball from back here requires an emphasis on protection, and the Packers do that with both tight ends helping on the edges. On the low side, TE Ben Sims (89) throws an effective chip block on DE Arik Armstead (91), while on the high side, TE Tucker Kraft does the same on DE Joe Gaziano (97). That makes life easier on both offensive tackles, and Love is standing on the goal line with a perfectly clean pocket. From there it's up to Doubs to get open, which he does with an outstanding route, using an inside head fake to get CB Montaric Brown (30) to overplay the deep cross and allowing his peel back to create plenty of separation.

Play No. 2: First-and-10 from the Green Bay 49, first quarter, 4:15 left

Result: 18-yard completion to Doubs

Three plays later, it's Doubs again. But this time it's a relatively simple hot read as his slot defender, CB Jarrian Jones (22), blitzes. RT Zach Tom (50) alertly picks him up after initially helping RG Jordan Morgan (77) on Armstead, and S Darnell Savage (6) leaves way too much space for Doubs on the in cut. If your guys blitzes, there's a good chance the ball is coming your way, and Doubs is more than ready.

Play No. 3: Second-and-6 from the Green Bay 24, second quarter, 8:46 left

Result: 67-yard completion to Kraft

Even with Love gimpy, this extended play turns into a big one. First, protection-wise, the keys are Tom riding DE Travon Walker (44) out of the play past the QB and, fortunately, DT Tyler Lacy (93) tripping over the feet of LT Rasheed Walker (63) after he gets leverage on LG Elgton Jenkins (74). On the back end, when Love starts to roll to his right, S Andre Cisco (5) bails from the middle of the field, following CB Tyson Campbell (3) as WR Dontayvion Wicks (13) mirrors Love on the cross. Seeing Cisco chase Wicks, Kraft smartly breaks behind him into open space to give Love an outlet. Last but not least, Kraft deftly shifts the ball from his right arm to his left just after he crosses the 35-yard line to protect it and free up his stiff arm.

Play No. 4: Second-and-10 from the Green Bay 42, second quarter, 1:55 left

Result: 25-yard completion to Doubs

Nothing fancy here, just a textbook blitz pickup by RB Chris Brooks (30) on LB Ventrell Miller (51), allowing Love and Doubs to connect on a ridiculously good throw and catch along the sideline, setting up a field goal just before halftime.

Play No. 5: First-and-10 from the Green Bay 42, third quarter, 1:13 left

Result: 20-yard scramble by Willis

Willis has just completed his first pass of the game, a clutch 5-yarder to Wicks to convert on third down, so now comes the play-action. The key here is watching Miller, who after paying heed to the play fake gets a little lost in space. He turns his back on the quarterback and, for whatever reason, joins two other defenders in chasing WR Bo Melton (80) across the field. That creates a huge running lane for Willis, who then gets a nice block downfield from WR Jayden Reed (11) on Jones.

Play No. 6: First-and-10 from the Jacksonville 38, third quarter, :31 left

Result: 38-yard TD run by RB Josh Jacobs

Very next snap, two things get Jacobs' best run of the season (so far) started. First, Walker absolutely washes out DE Josh Hines-Allen (41) with a road-grading run block. Second, coming up in run support, Cisco honors the run threat on the zone read that Willis presents – one play after he just scrambled for 20 yards. From there, it's Jacobs making an incredible move on CB De'Antre Prince (24), shaking free from the tackle attempt by Miller, and getting the downfield block from WR Christian Watson (9) on Savage.

Play No. 7: Second-and-6 from the Green Bay 34, fourth quarter, 1:13 left

Result: 51-yard completion to Reed

Now for the final big play to Reed, which sets up the game-winning field goal, except it's prefaced by a garden-variety run on the snap before.

As the Packers take the field with 1:48 left, they actually call the same play twice in a row – a Jacobs run to the left that can be "canned," or audibled, to a play-action pass, which is for Reed from the tight slot, crossing the field right to left. What they're looking for is to see the safety, Cisco, on the side where Reed's route will go, come down in run support to open up that side of the field.

On first down, they don't get what they want, as Savage is the safety that comes down on the right side, not Cisco on the left. So they stick with the run call to the left, and Reed stays in to block.

On the next play, same personnel, same formation, same call. Thinking it's another Jacobs run to the left, Cisco comes down to that side in run support. As soon as he does, Willis puts his hands up to his ears, "canning" the play to the pass to Reed. The Packers have the exact look they want, and several players mimic Willis' can signal so everyone's on the same page. The run looks exactly the same, except Willis fakes it, and Reed sprints past Cisco through the middle traffic. He's toast, and in a panic he faceplants. With the other safety, Savage, occupied by Doubs' deep seam route, Reed is wide-freakin'-open, and the Packers are set up to walk it off.

Bonus play: Third-and-11 from the Jacksonville 29, fourth quarter, 13:24 left

Result: Incomplete pass

This has nothing to do with the theme of the day, but it's included as a bonus simply to show the speed of rookie LB Edgerrin Cooper (56), which is astonishing on the all-22. Here, Cooper even bluffs a blitz before he spins around into an all-out sprint through the deep middle to catch up to WR Christian Kirk (13) and break up what looked to be a huge play for Jacksonville. That's a 230-pound linebacker running like the wind 40 yards downfield, folks. My goodness. Unfortunately, Cooper's collision with Kirk as they both hit the ground broke Kirk's collarbone and he's out for the season. Nobody wanted that. But a linebacker with this kind of speed? Who doesn't.
