Jordan Love throws pick 6 on one of the worst interceptions you’ll ever see (video)
In the moment, maybe it seemed like a good idea for Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love to blindly throw a pass underhanded from the back of his own end zone.
As it turns out, it was not a good idea.
Love threw an interception that he isn’t going to be looking forward to seeing during the Packers’ next film session. Los Angeles Rams outside linebacker Byron Young was coming off the edge and Love saw him too late. Young hit Love, who started stumbling. Instead of taking the safety, Love’s instincts were to flip the ball forward.
That ended up in disaster. Rams cornerback Jaylen McCollough had a gift of an interception and returned it four yards for a score.
Not ideal. The Packers were tied 7-7 when Love lost his mind and handed the Rams a touchdown. Luckily, Green Bay held on for a 24-19 win to improve to 3-2, with Love finishing 15 of 26 for 224 yards with two touchdowns.
Love has shown he’s a talented quarterback and has a $55 million per year deal to prove it, but every quarterback is bound to have a terrible blooper here and there. The best thing that can be said about Love’s pick 6 is he probably won’t have a worse play this season.
