Packers’ Jordan Love Roasted by NFL Fans for His Awful Game-Sealing INT vs. Broncos

Jordan Love Packers Broncos AJ Dillon Green Bay Denver (Organization)

The Packers suffered their third straight loss during Week 7, falling on the road to the Broncos.

It was a slog of a game for Green Bay, who were shut out in the first half, facing a 9–0 deficit at halftime that they had to fight to escape. While the Packers briefly took the lead in the fourth quarter, the Broncos responded with a field goal to take a 19–17 lead.

As Green Bay drove with its final possession in need of just a field goal to win the game, quarterback Jordan Love faltered, throwing a brutal interception that sealed the game for Denver.

While there's no easy answer for a quarterback facing third-and-20, Love's throw was a tough one to accept, floating like a pop fly into the waiting hands of Broncos safety P.J. Locke. 

As replays would show, running back A.J. Dillon was open for a short pass underneath that would allow the Packers to fight again on fourth down, making the interception especially difficult to accept.

Packers fans at home were not impressed.

After a pretty promising first few games this year, Love has not looked sharp the past few weeks, throwing just three touchdowns against seven interceptions during the Packers' three-game skid.

The loss pushes Green Bay to 2–4 on the season, putting them three wins behind the division-leading Lions.
