Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love threw a first-half interception on Sunday against the Chicago Bears, extending his NFL-long interception streak to eight games to start the 2024 season.
On third down in the red zone, Love sailed a pass intended for tight end Tucker Kraft, and Terrell Smith made the interception at the 1-yard line.
Love has thrown an interception in all eight starts in 2024.

The interception cost the Packers at least three points. With a better throw, Kraft could have made the catch and potentially picked up the first down to extend the drive inside the red zone. Instead, the turnover gave the ball back to the Bears with no points scored.
The Packers had 2nd-and-1 from the Bears’ 5-yard line. But a penalty backed the offense five yards, and Jayden Reed got dumped for a 5-yard loss one play later, setting up 3rd-and-long. The interception arrived on 3rd-and-11.
According to Rob Demovsky of ESPN, Love’s 8-game interception streak is the longest by a Packers quarterback since Brett Favre threw an interception in 10 straight games in 2005.
Love now has an NFL-high 11 interceptions this season. He threw 11 interceptions across 17 starts as a first-year starter in 2023.
Including the postseason, Love has thrown an interception in nine straight games.
