Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love reflected on the fateful interception Saturday night against the San Francisco 49ers that ended his team's chances of reaching the NFC Championship Game.
On the Packers' final play of the game, Love moved to his right and attempted to fire the ball across his body to wide receiver Christian Watson. The duck he threw landed in the hands of 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw. There were two other 49ers in the area covering Watson.

“The play broke down and I scrambled to the right and I saw Christian go over the middle,” Love said. “And I tried to force one on him. I thought I could make the play. I didn't see the backside. So I made a really great play.”
He then continued, “I haven't seen it yet. I haven't seen the pictures, so now that I think about it, yeah, I threw it away. I don't know if I ever had a chance to run it.” He may have crossed the line, but forcing his way across the middle in the second half was a cardinal sin and it cost us. So, that's something I'll consider. That's an area I can look into, grow from and get even better in the future. ”
Love had two interceptions, both against Greenlaw. The first one was stolen from the hands of tight end Tucker Craft.

Love completed 21 of 34 for 194 passing yards and two touchdown passes.
“It's going to be tough for a while,” the Packers star said. “It's going to be heartbreaking just to look at every game that's going to happen and think we had a chance to win and we dropped the ball in that game. It's going to be heartbreaking for a while, but you look back and look back. Look at some of the good things we've done. ”
Green Bay finished the season 9-8 and had a big playoff win over the Dallas Cowboys before Saturday night's results.
