JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love wants to play “clean with the ball.” If he does, the Packers surely would be even more difficult to beat.
Love is tied for the NFL lead with eight interceptions, and that’s despite missing two games with a knee injury. He’s also second with 15 touchdown passes, making the Packers one of the most potent passing offenses in the league. But those turnovers are troubling as Green Bay (5-2) tries to extend its winning streak to four at Jacksonville (2-5) on Sunday.
“I think obviously the interceptions are something I want to clean up and definitely improve on, being able to be clean with the ball,” Love said. “I think the big focus for us is to go a game on offense and have 100% ball security.” Facing the Jaguars might help.
Coach Doug Pederson’s squad is tied for 29th in the league with just three takeaways, including two by the defense. Nonetheless, Jacksonville is feeling better about itself following a 32-16 victory over New England in London. The Jaguars played their best game of the season and hope to have come carryover back across the pond.
“I definitely feel like we have some momentum, especially compared to where we were the first month of the season,” quarterback Trevor Lawrence said. “Obviously, it hasn’t always been perfect, but I really do feel like we’ve trusted our process. We’ve trusted the coaches, the players, our teammates around us, and we have found some success here l.
