3 winners (and 2 losers) for Packers in preseason loss to Patriots
The Green Bay Packers took on the New England Patriots in their second preseason game on Saturday evening. The contest was suspended in the fourth quarter after Patriots cornerback Isaiah Bolden suffered a frightening injury.
We learned more about this Packers team in the opening three quarters of the game, which included snaps for the starters.
Which players stood out against the Patriots, and who struggled? Here are three winners and two losers for the Packers after their second preseason game.
Winner: Jordan Love
Jordan Love looked good again, making some outstanding throws while he was out there. Love finished with five completions on eight attempts for 83 yards and a touchdown.
His touchdown pass to Jayden Reed was a beauty, a throw Aaron Rodgers would be impressed with.
"Jordan Love looks pretty sharp. Oozes potential," writes Albert Breer of The MMQB. And he's absolutely right.
It's the second week in a row that Love has made an impact at the start of the game, showcasing his ability to make excellent throws and read the defense well. He has done everything right this summer. The Packers now hope their new starting quarterback can continue to play at this level once the regular season gets underway.
