SEATTLE- Former Utah State Quarterback Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are in Seattle taking on the Seahawks on Sunday Night Football.

The Packers have taken a double-digit lead thanks to two touchdown drives, including a scoring pass to Romeo Doubs.

Their third scoring drive ended in a field goal to put Green Bay up by two touchdowns, and the play that put the Packers in kicking range came from an absolutely stunning throw from Jordan Love.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Packers were marching toward Seattle territory. Love took the shotgun snap on the Green Bay 40-yard line. He saw that Christian Watson had beaten his man off the line and heaved a high-arcing ball toward the near sideline.

The throw was layered perfectly, dropping just over the head of the Seahawks defender and into Watson’s. Christian gained control and tapped his toes in bounds to secure the huge gain for the Packers.

About Jordan Love

Before his time in the league, the Bakersfield, California native played at USU from 2016-19. During his time with the Aggies, Love threw for 8,600 yards, 60 touchdowns, and 29 interceptions with a completion rate of 61 percent.

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

During his rookie campaign, the former USU standout was inactive for each of Green Bay’s games.

Love saw limited action in his second and third seasons with the Packers and continued to serve as the backup to four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers. Following the 2022 season, the Packers traded Rodgers to the New York Jets. The Rodgers trade paved the way for Love to be Green Bay’s QB1 in 2023.

In his first three seasons, Love threw for 606 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions with a 60.2 percent completion rate in 10 games played.

In 2023, Love threw for 4,159 yards, 32 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. He also ran for 247 yards and four touchdowns, leading the Packers to a 9-8 record in the regular season.

In two playoff games, the former USU signal-caller threw for 466 yards, five touchdowns, and two interceptions.
