QB Love says Packers’ playoff loss to 49ers provides more motivation as they prepare to meet again

Associated Press  

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love doesn’t hide the fact that the playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers lingered with him throughout the offseason. Love can gain some measure of revenge Sunday when these two teams face off for the first time since the Packers squandered a fourth-quarter lead and fell 24-21 to the 49ers in last season’s NFC divisional round. “That’s what you’ve got to kind of just sit with all offseason, is going back, watching that game, trying to see what you could have done better, could have done differently in that game,” Love said Wednesday. Just knowing that that’s the team that knocked us out, we’re definitely hungry for this game.” Love threw two third-quarter touchdown passes to continue his sizzling late-season run as Green Bay carried a 21-14 lead in the final quarter.
