After a promising touchdown on their previous possession, the Green Bay Packers' offense faced a critical moment in the fourth quarter as they tried to mount a comeback against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Packers' star running back, Josh Jacobs, had to leave the field due to an injury after making a crucial 14-yard catch, further complicating the team's offensive efforts.

With the game on the line and facing a fourth-and-three situation, quarterback Jordan Love targeted wide receiver Malik Heath on the sideline in a last-ditch effort to keep the drive alive.

Heath managed to secure the catch beyond the first-down marker, but unfortunately, his heel landed out of bounds, resulting in an incomplete pass and a turnover on downs for the Packers.
