Jordan Love of the Packers contemplates game-deciding interception Describes it as a ‘grave mistake.

Jordan Love looks on

Love’s second interception marked the conclusion of the Packers’ last offensive push.

Recalling the pivotal moment, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love reflected on the interception that dashed the team’s hopes of advancing to the NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night.

In the final play of the game, Love rolled to his right and attempted to connect with wide receiver Christian Watson. However, the pass ended up in the hands of 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw, with two other 49ers defenders in the vicinity covering Watson.

“Play broke down, scrambling right. Saw Christian over the middle,” Love recounted. “And tried to force one into him. Thought I could make the play. Didn’t see the back side. So, really made a great play.”

He added later, “I haven’t looked at it yet. Haven’t looked at any pictures, so. Looking back on it, yeah, throw it away. I don’t know if I had an opportunity to be able to run, maybe get out of bounds but, you know, force it across the middle late, which is a mortal sin and it cost us. So it’s something I’ll look at. That’s an area right there I’ll be able to look at, grow from, and get better in the future.”

Love endured two interceptions, both to Greenlaw. The initial interception resulted from a deflection off tight end Tucker Craft’s hands.

Despite Love’s 21-of-34 performance with 194 passing yards and two touchdown passes, the loss left a lingering sting for the Packers.

“I think it’ll sting for a while,” Love remarked. “Watching all the games going forward, it will sting just knowing that we had an opportunity to win, and we dropped the ball on that one. It’ll sting for a while, but we’ll be able to look back on it and see some good things we did.”

Green Bay finished the season 9-8, securing a significant playoff victory over the Dallas Cowboys before Saturday night’s disappointment.
