Packers most to blame for painful Week 10 loss to Steelers

The Green Bay Packers were defeated 23-19 by the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Green Bay is currently 3-6 for the season as a result of it.

There were little over three minutes remaining in the game when the first happened. Christian Watson was the target of Love’s shot in the end zone, which was intercepted by Keanu Neal after Patrick Peterson tipped the ball. The second occurred in the dying moments when Damontae Kazee intercepted Love’s pass after he was forced to throw to the end zone with three seconds remaining.

In Love’s debut season as the starting quarterback, many were unsure of what to anticipate. This season, he has made a lot of blunders but has also displayed moments of skill as a quarterback. Love has completed 2,009 yards, 14 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions on 58.7% of his attempts. In addition, he has two touchdowns and 182 yards of rushes. For the remainder of the season, Love must become consistent if Green Bay is to have a chance to win games.

Moving on, let’s evaluate the Packers and determine who has the most to lose from their heartbreaking Week 10 defeat to the Steelers.

Christian Watson

While Love threw two interceptions in the game, wide receiver Christian Watson was a big reason for the inconsistent offense. Watson had a pivotal drop on a third down that could’ve extended a drive and led to points for the offense. He has all the talent to be a great receiver, but he has struggled with drops and not been the no. 1 wideout that Green Bay expected.

Watson caught two passes for 23 yards on seven targets at the game’s conclusion. The seven targets indicate that despite Love and the Packers’ best efforts, no output has come from their attempts to get him the football. Watson caught 41 passes for 611 yards and seven scores in his impressive debut season. His progress has been stalled by injuries and setbacks, and Green Bay needs him to continue.
