The Green Bay Packers just got hit with a gut-wrenching 19-17 loss against the Denver Broncos. It stung even worse when their reliable tight-end, Luke Musgrave, got knocked out with an ankle injury, courtesy of an illegal hit by Broncos’ safety Kareem Jackson. With their offensive anchor sidelined, the Packers’ star QB, Jordan Love, went on an unexpected detour. And boy, did he steer off course!
Seizing the opportunity, the Broncos, who weren’t exactly playing pretty football themselves, managed to drain the clock and escape Empower Field at Mile High with a 19-17 triumph. It marked their first home win of the season, and it had Packers fans shaking their heads in disbelief.

It felt like déjà vu for the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. They were down by a deuce against the underwhelming Denver Broncos, with less than two minutes left in the fourth quarter. Jordan Love, their young gun slinger, took a risky shot, trying to thread the needle to Samori Toure in double coverage, but instead, he gift-wrapped a game-sealing interception.
JORDAN LOVE WHAT IS THAT?!

Love had put in serious hustle in the second half, firing off two touchdowns to rally his squad, flipping the script after a first-half goose egg. The Packers were on the brink of victory, but then Will Lutz booted Denver back in front with a field goal, and Love just couldn’t seal the deal. It had fans all over “X” scratching their heads and venting their frustration with posts like, “JORDAN LOVE WHAT IS THAT?! With the game on the line…“
Sadly, this ain’t the first rodeo for Love when it comes to game-ending interceptions. He had a déjà vu moment a couple of weeks back against the Las Vegas Raiders, and now he’s sitting at a whopping seven interceptions for the season. That’s up there with the big boys, and it’s a far cry from his squeaky-clean start as Green Bay’s new sheriff. Four of those seven picks? Yep, you guessed it, they’ve come in the past two games.
Unfiltered feedback: Love’s pass, exactly as they say
It’s safe to say Love is on the receiving end of some not-so-loveable feedback from Packers fans. They’re lighting up social media with their frustrations. Let’s dive into what they’re dishing out.
