It was a milestone rally for a young Packers team that continually had come up just short late in games this season.“That’s always in the back of my head, just the past experiences that we’ve had, being in this situation and not capitalizing,” Love said. “Our message was just, ‘Go finish.

And go be great.’ I think we did that.”Love went 27 of 40 and became the first Packer to throw for more than 300 yards since Aaron Rodgers had a 341-yard day against the Chicago Bears on Dec. 12, 2021.“I wasn’t aware of that,” Love said. “That’s a pretty crazy stat, to be honest.”Both t...
