Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers secured a hard-fought 24-19 victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, moving their record to 3-2 on the season. The Rams, battling through injuries, dropped to 1-4.
Love had a productive day overall, throwing for 224 yards and two touchdowns.
Early in the game, he delivered one of the best passes of the season, connecting with Jayden Reed on a 53-yard bomb midway through the first quarter. The play showcased Love’s arm strength and precision, giving the Packers an early boost.
However, Love’s day wasn’t without its flaws. Late in the second quarter, he made a terrible mistake, throwing a pick-six while falling down in his own end zone.
Rams cornerback Jaylen McCollough had an easy interception and ran it back for a touchdown. The play was a major turning point for the Rams and looked like a momentum-shifter.
On the CBS broadcast, Tony Romo had the perfect reaction to the error, sounding like a disappointed dad witnessing a careless mistake.
Romo, known for his candid and insightful commentary, captured the moment’s frustration as Love’s ill-advised throw shocked both fans and analysts alike.
Despite this misstep, Love and the Packers managed to hold on for the win, but performances like that pick-six need to be avoided in the future if Green Bay wants to stay competitive.
While Love showed flashes of brilliance, he’ll need to be more consistent as the season progresses.
