With just four minutes left on the clock, Love and the Green Bay offense took the field trailing by five.
After a 26-yard run from Josh Jacobs and a 60-yard deep ball to Christian Watson, the Packers quickly entered scoring range.
From there, it was all Love.
He scampered out of the pocket with eyes on the end zone. He made it within less than a yard before getting pushed out.
Massive effort by Jordan Love

In 2020, the Packers traded up to select Love with the No. 26 overall pick in the NFL Draft.
