GREEN BAY, Wis. – Former Utah State quarterback Jordan Love put together debatably his best game of the year as the Green Bay Packers stomped the Arizona Cardinals in week six.
Love completed 22 of his 32 pass attempts for 258 yards and four touchdowns. He also took five carries for 13 yards.

The first half was dominated by Love and the Packers.
After Arizona’s first drive ended in a three-and-out, it took less than three minutes for Green Bay to go 44 yards into the end zone.

Once again, the Green Bay defense stepped up and forced the Cardinals to punt.
The Packers offense took advantage of the opportunity with an 11-play, 80-yard drive that ended in a connection between Love and Romeo Doubs.
They marched the length of the field on the next drive but was unable to punch it in and settle for a field goal.
The next Green Bay drive took nearly seven minutes and crept into the second quarter but ended in a Romeo Doubs TD.

However, the Packers weren’t quite down in the end zone in the first half.
Already leading 17-0, it took just one play on their next drive to tack on six.
Love loaded up from near midfield and perfectly placed the pass on the chest of Christian Watson.
The first 25 minutes was dominated by the Packers. With the ball back, Love put a deep pass right in the bucket for Christian Watson.

With just four minutes left in the half, the Cardinals were finally able to get going on offense.
Two quick drives led by QB Kyler Murray resulted in 10 points before the conclusion of the first half.
However, Green Bay got right back to it after the break. After eight plays and 50 yards, they were in striking distance.
With heavy pressure in the pocket, Love backpedaled and found Doubs near the front right corner of the end zone.
