WATCH: Jordan Love’s dazzling throw from the end zone leads to Packers QB’s first career pick

The Jordan Love the Green Bay Packers have received since returning from his Week 1 MCL sprain in Week 4 has been nothing but a roller coaster.

The Packers quarterback became just the third player in franchise history to throw for four-plus touchdowns (four) and three-plus interceptions (three) in a game in the team’s 31-29 Week 4 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, and joining Brett Favre (twice – once in 1999 and once in 1998) and Lynn Dickey (Week 10, 1983 vs. the Browns).

That up-and-down play reared its head again on Sunday in Week 5 against the Los Angeles Rams. First, Love completed a 53-yard pass to wide receiver Jayden Reed in triple coverage to set up Josh Jacobs’ 2-yard rushing touchdown that put Green Bay ahead 7-0 early.

However, Love then made the most confusing play in his two seasons as the Packers’ starting quarterback late in the second quarter. Backed up and facing third-and-12 on their own 8-yard line, Love rolled right into the back of the end zone, and to avoid a safety, made a lateral throw toward the right sideline with the intent of clearing the ball to throw. outside the borders. The football didn’t end up out of bounds, but rather in the arms of Los Angeles safety Jaylen McCollough. The undrafted rookie from Tennessee returned the football four yards into the end zone for Love’s first pick of her career.

Thanks to Love’s blunder, the Packers trailed 13-10 at halftime. Green Bay head coach Matt LaFleur will certainly try to get more positives than negatives out of his quarterback in the second half.
