The Packers suffered their third straight loss during Week 7, falling on the road to the Broncos.
It was a slog of a game for Green Bay, who were shut out in the first half, facing a 9–0 deficit at halftime that they had to fight to escape. While the Packers briefly took the lead in the fourth quarter, the Broncos responded with a field goal to take a 19–17 lead.
As Green Bay drove with its final possession in need of just a field goal to win the game, quarterback Jordan Love faltered, throwing a brutal interception that sealed the game for Denver.
JORDAN LOVE WHAT IS THAT?!

While there's no easy answer for a quarterback facing third-and-20, Love's throw was a tough one to accept, floating like a pop fly into the waiting hands of Broncos safety P.J. Locke.
As replays would show, running back A.J. Dillon was open for a short pass underneath that would allow the Packers to fight again on fourth down, making the interception especially difficult to accept.
Packers fans at home were not impressed.
Why’d GB punt on 3rd and 20 down 2 with 1:50 to go? https://t.co/Il7RE8lhhC

Love has to throw to Dillon here. Broncos D was offering him 10 yards at least. That would’ve given Anders a chance at a 56-58 yard field goal in the Denver altitude. I like that he’s not afraid to be aggressive, but damn. Last 2 games were winnable. https://t.co/Rhd0ypZ3tL

After a pretty promising first few games this year, Love has not looked sharp the past few weeks, throwing just three touchdowns against seven interceptions during the Packers' three-game skid.
The loss pushes Green Bay to 2–4 on the season, putting them three wins behind the division-leading Lions.
