Against the Denver Broncos, Jordan Love is not having a good day. Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, however, continues to have faith in the young quarterback

The Green Bay Packers’ 17-19 loss to the Denver Broncos was the third consecutive defeat for the traditional franchise. In the duel with the team from Colorado, quarterback Jordan Love was also not particularly convincing.

The 24-year-old completed 21 of 31 passes for 180 yards, but threw an interception as well as two touchdowns. It was the sixth intercepted pass by an opposing defense in the past three games.

Head coach Matt LaFleur now has his quarterback’s back, however, and doesn’t want any discussions to arise around Love. “The better everyone around him is, the better he’s going to look,” the 43-year-old is quoted as saying by “ESPN.”

He added: “Our confidence in him doesn’t waver one bit. As a playmaker, of course you blame yourself when things don’t go well, and we will continue to do that, but we have to find a way to score more points, because when you score points, it’s a whole different story. “

It might have been made easier by some key players on the offense who are currently dealing with injuries and were not on the field at all or only intermittently.

Packers probably with Watson against the Vikings

Wide receiver Christian Watson suffered a knee injury on the final drive, and tight end Luke Musgrave left the game earlier with an ankle injury. Left tackle David Bakhtiari will miss the rest of the season anyway, and left guard Elgton Jenkins is battling knee problems.

At least Watson could be back in Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings, saying a knee exam revealed no abnormalities. “I’m just trying to get rid of the initial pain and other things, and I think I’ll be fine,” the 2022 second-round pick said.
