With 2:59 left in the 4th quarter and down by 6, Jordan Love finds Romeo Doubs one-on-one in the corner of the endzone for an eight-yard touchdown. This play would help seal the Packers’ comeback victory over the Saints 18-17 and move to 2-1 on the season. “I’ve never been part of a win like this,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said. “The guys in the locker room, they believe in one another and they continue to battle and that’s really, as a coach, that’s all you can ask of anybody is to continue to fight, continue to battle.” The Packers were outscored 17-0 heading into the 4th quarter, with all hope seeming lost. However, an impressive quarter from Jordan Love and the Packers Defense helped pave the way for a stunning win. “It’s always about how the game ends. It felt great at the end,” Love said. “That’s all I can say. It felt really good at the end.”Love finished the day with 22-of-44 for 259 yards with one TD, one INT, and a 66.4 passer rating. The Packers were without Wide Reciever Christian Watson, Running Back Aaron Jones, Left Tackle David Bakhtiari, Left Guard Elgton Jenkins, and Cornerback Jaire Alexander, arguably five of their best players. The Packers fought the adversity and were able to come away with the win in the season's home opener. The Packers will take on division rival Detroit Lions this Thursday at Lambeau Field, 7:15 PM CST.
