It's the Giants' best start since 5-0 in 2009 and matches their win total from last season (4-13).
Early on, Jones seemed to be limited by his sprained ankle and wasn’t a threat to run in the first half. Barkley then took a direct snap for a 40-yard gain to the Giants 38, bringing the offense to life, and the Giants used some trickery to get the ball in the end zone.
From the shotgun, Jones ran right, pitched it to Barkley, who then pitched to Daniel Bellinger. The rookie tight end avoided a tackle and ran it in to close the gap to 17-10. But 1:15 on the clock was enough for Rodgers to lead the Packers into field-goal range. Mason Crosby connected from 48 yards as time expired in the half to give the Packers a 20-10 lead.
Barkley, who briefly left the game with a shoulder issue, finished with 70 yards on 13 carries. Jones carried 10 times for 37 yards.Randall Cobb led Green Bay with seven receptions for 99 yards.Unlike most London games, the crowd Sunday was distinctively green or blue — mostly the former. Typically, fans come dressed in whatever team jersey they have, regardless of who is playing. Not this time.
British and European fans are buzzing about NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's comments Saturday.

We’re trying to sort of see, could you have multiple locations in Europe where you could have an NFL franchise, because it would be easier as a division.”In 2007, the Giants beat the Miami Dolphins 13-10 in the first regular-season game played in London.
