The sky is falling for many fans after Sunday's game, and not just because they lost to the Denver Broncos 34-26.

 

The Packers took an early 6-0 lead against the Broncos thanks to two Brandon McManus field goals, but the inability to turn those drives into touchdowns became apparent when Bo Nix found Michael Bandy to make it 7-6. The two teams traded touchdowns before McManus' third field goal gave the Packers a 16-14 halftime lead.

 

Josh Jacobs opened the second half with a 40-yard touchdown run to make it 23-14, but the smiling stopped after that. Nix threw two more touchdown passes and Troy Franklin found the endzone as well while all the Packers could muster was a field goal. During the second half, Love threw two critical interceptions while the Packers lost pass rusher Micah Parsons (knee), wide receiver Christian Watson (chest/shoulder), safety Evan Williams (knee) and right tackle Zach Tom (knee). The fear is Parsons is lost for the season after reportedly tearing his ACL while the others could be lost for at least this Saturday's tilt against the now NFC North-leading Chicago Bears.

 

Love ended his day with 276 yards, a touchdown, and two picks while Jacobs racked up 73 yards on 12 carries to go along with his score. Jayden Reed, Luke Musgrave, and Matthew Golden all had at least three catches and over 50 yards receiving in the loss.

 

Saturday's game at Soldier Field against the Bears will kickoff at 7:20 p.m.
