Love's 81-Yard TD Bomb, But Kick Fails!

In a pivotal moment on September 14, 2026, Jordan Love delivered his longest touchdown pass of his career, an impressive 81-yard connection with Christian Watson. Watson’s speed after the reception allowed him to secure the score. This significant play marked Love's first completion of the 2026 season, demonstrating his early impact.

Despite the successful offensive execution, the Packers' scoring was hindered by a missed extra point from rookie kicker Trey Smack. Smack’s attempt sailed wide right, leaving the score at 9-0. Earlier in the first quarter, Smack had successfully converted a 59-yard field goal, but the subsequent missed PAT proved costly.
