Sad News: Green Bay Packers Star Jordan Love Files For Contract Termination Shocking the NFL World due to……
Green Bay’s Jordan Love could have wallowed in self doubt after throwing the first pick-6 of his career during the second quarter against the Los Angeles Rams.
Instead, it ended up motivating the quarterback and his Packers teammates.
Love completed nine straight passes after the interception, including a pair of touchdown passes to Tucker Kraft in the second half as the Packers rallied for a 24-19 victory Sunday.
“The pick, it was a bad decision and it’s tough. But it’s all about how you respond and bounce back,” said Love, who completed 15 of 26 passes for 224 yards in his second start since missing two games with a knee injury.
The Packers trailed 13-7 late in the second quarter after Jaylen McCollough intercepted Love’s off-balance attempt to throw the ball away and ran it in from 4 yards.
But Love, a California native who grew up in Bakersfield, led Green Bay (3-2) to points on its next three drives and benefited from a pair of turnovers to beat the Rams (1-4) for the ninth time in their last 10 regular-season meetings.
“I think that drive, when you throw a pick-6, that’s never fun.
But to be able to take us down there in the 2-minute drive and get some critical points when points were really tough to come by, I just think that’s what he’s all about,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said.
“And when you get a bunch of tough-minded guys I think that kind of just manifests itself and it’s contagious.”
