It took 50-plus minutes but Jordan Love got the Green Bay Packers into the end zone in his first NFL start.
It wasn’t easy, either, trailing 13-0 and facing a fourth-and-5 against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead, Love connected with Allen Lazard and the wide receiver made a nice move and found his way into the end zone.
Lazard ducks him… and that's Jordan Love's first career TD pass! #GoPackGo

Being kind, Love was mediocre — okay, okay ineffective — as he started in place of Aaron Rodgers, who was out due to COVID-19.
However, when the Packers needed a drive and touchdown in the fourth quarter to give them a chance, he delivered to Lazard.
