Packers quarterback Jordan Love had a chance to be a hero for Green Bay this Sunday. Instead, he threw a game-losing interception against the previously 1-5 Broncos.
With plenty of time in the pocket on third-and-20 from Green Bay’s 46-yard line, Love’s pass attempt sailed into the arms of Broncos defensive back P.J. Locke. He could’ve dumped the ball underneath to AJ Dillon to make fourth down much more manageable.
Here’s the unfortunate throw from Love:

This is the second game in a row for the Packers that ended with a costly interception from Love.
Love’s inability to connect on deep passes has been a real concern this season. He’s 6-of-27 with three interceptions on throws of 20 or more air yards this season.
We’ll see if Love can bounce back next Sunday when he faces the Vikings at home.
