Love completed 28 of 53 passes for 312 yards with two touchdowns and one interception and rushed once for no gain in the Packers' 35-14 loss to the Falcons on Thursday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Green Bay.
While Love's final line was certainly a fantasy-friendly one, it was largely the byproduct of Green Bay being playing catch-up in the fourth quarter and the Falcons showing a willingness to give up some yardage while in prevent mode. Love spread the ball around to nine different targets on the night, and he connected with Christian Watson (four yards) and Matthew Golden (15 yards ) -- who were his two most prolific options by far -- for his pair of touchdown passes. Love's one interception closed out the Packers' final drive with the game already out of reach, but the embattled veteran signal-caller does head into a Week 4 road matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 4 averaging 281.3 passing yards per game while sporting a 6:2 TD:INT.
Love wrapped up the Packers' preseason slate having completed eight of 12 passes for 74 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in two appearances.
Love led one drive apiece in Green Bay's first two exhibitions, with his sole TD a connection with RB MarShawn Lloyd over the middle in Denver in preseason Week 2. Love also linked up with each of his top three WRs Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden at least one time. Especially against the Broncos, Love appeared to be hitting on all cylinders, and he'll aim to carry it over to a Week 1 road matchup with the Vikings on Sunday, Sept. 13.
Above the line the plan was to throw; below it, to run.
