Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love delivered another three-touchdown performance against the New England Patriots.
Acme Packing Company reported that the Packers lined up in 11 personnel at the five-yard line with 8:03 remaining in the first quarter. Tucker Kraft shifted pre-snap to a bunch on the right before Love canned the play to bring him in-line. Kraft then motioned across the formation, drawing a defender with him.
At the snap, Christian Watson pushed vertical on a corner route to build a wall against cornerback Christian Gonzalez. Matthew Golden angled out before cutting back inside on an angle route, leaving Gonzalez with Watson. Love pointed his shoulders and feet to the outside, holding the linebackers and Gonzalez in place to open space between the hashes for Golden.
The Packers held a 24-14 lead early in the third quarter with 10:57 remaining on the clock when they lined up in 11 personnel with Jonnu Smith as the tight end. Golden and Watson ran double-post routes while Savion Williams ran a fade against rookie cornerback Karon Prunty.
Prunty saw the first extended action of his career after playing three defensive snaps against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Love checked the safeties and targeted Williams back-shoulder on the fade for a touchdown, extending the lead to 31-14.
The Packers forced their fourth turnover of the day before starting a drive at the 39-yard line with 4:16 left in the third quarter. Acme Packing Company said that the offense deployed 12 personnel in a YY Wing formation with maximum protection keeping both tight ends to block.
Golden pushed vertically from an inside stack to draw the safety’s attention while Watson streaked past down the field. Love launched a deep pass over the top as the safety tried to recover, hitting Watson for a touchdown that pushed the score to 41-14.
