Jordan Love leads Packers to 18-17 victory against Saints

Jordan Love was the hero for the Saints as they comeback from a 17-point 4^th quarter deficit in his 1^st career home start – a change in momentum that began after Saints lost QB Derek Carr to a shoulder injury and the Green Bay defeated New Orleans 18-17 on Sunday.

Green Bay scored all of their points in the final eleven minutes to triumph in their 11^th straight home opener, the league’s longest active streak. They finally were ahead in the result after Jordan’s 8-yard pass to Romeo Doubs with fewer than 3 minutes left.

Derek’s reserve, Jameis Winston, took the franchise to a scoring position, but Blake Grupe’s 46-yard FG attempt with just 1 minute left wasn’t successful. It was the 1^st career miss in 7 tries for Blake, but it came in the worst possible moment as that cost the Saints the game.
