Jordan Love’s interception gives Vikings fans Favre flashbacks

Jordan Love’s interception reminds Vikings fans of Favre.

Love’s last game against the 49ers was reminiscent of the 2009 NFC Championship Game.

If you’ve watched the Green Bay Packers this season, you know that broadcasters like to compare Jordan Love to Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers. Love drew another comparison to Favre on Saturday, and it wasn’t a good one, especially for Vikings fans.

The Packers played the top-ranked San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night, and Love lost 24-21 to Green Bay. Love had a chance to lead Green Bay to a win or tie, and the Packers threw a pass to Luke Musgrave for a third-and-2.

With two downs, Love looked good, facing 1st-and-10 from the Green Bay 36-yard line. However, he was picked off the pocket by Nick Bosa and threw a game-tying interception to Dre Greenlaw to end the Packers’ season.

Vikings fans breathed a sigh of relief after the interception, but there was a sense of déjà vu when the sight of Love throwing himself up the middle of the field was similar to what Brett Favre did to the Vikings in the 2009-2010 NFC Championship Game. Sanctify. The throw is similar, but there are some differences. The kiss happened while the Packers were on their way to a game.
