What Packers KB Jordan Love had to say about Christian Watson’s heroic catch to beat the Giants
It was anything but easy Green Bay Packers as they took on the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. The hosts had interim head coach Mike Kafka on the sideline and backup quarterback Jameis Winston under center, but they pushed the Packers to the limit before dropping a 27-20 decision. Jordan Love threw a pair of touchdown passes against the Giants pass defense and the last in the wildout Christian Watson proved to be a difference maker in the game.
Before Watson’s spectacular 17-yard TD reception, the PackerS trailed 20-19 with just over four minutes left in the final quarter. However, Watson was able to secure the lead with his jumper and the Packers added a successful two-point conversion.
Love explained that the Packers saw that Watson appeared to have 1-on-1 coverage, so he decided to throw to him. “I put a jump ball in his direction and he did a great job of going up and getting it,” Love said during his postgame media session. “I didn’t try to do anything with that throw other than put it in a spot where he could go up and get it and nobody else could touch it.”
The Giants gave the Packers a significant battle
The Giants (2-9) have been in disarray for most of the season and were forced to enter the battle without starters Bo Skatebo and Jackson Dart. Still, the Giants pushed The Packers (6-3-1) all over the field for most of the game. Jameis Winston took over at quarterback for the embattled Darts this week and completed 19 of 29 passes for 201 yards.
Giants running backs Devin Singletary and Tyron Tracy hurt the Packers with their play on the field. Singletary scored two rushing touchdowns, while Tracy ran for 88 yards and averaged 4.6 yards per carry.
Love completed 13 of 24 passes for 175 yards and 3 TDs. Watson caught 4 passes for 46 yards and 2 TDs.
