Love made his first start at Lambeau Field and
completed 22 of 44 for 259 yards with one touchdown and his
first interception of the season for the Packers (2-1).
Carr completed 13 of 18 passes for 103 yards and a first-quarter
touchdown to Jimmy Graham before injuring his right shoulder
when it hit the ground hard as he was sacked by linebacker
Rashan Gary, who finished with three sacks.
Jameis Winston replaced Carr and completed 10 of 16 for 101
yards, and Chris Olave finished with eight catches for 104
yards.
Neither team scored in the third quarter, but Green Bay finally
scored when Anders Carlson kicked a 38-yard field goal to trim
the lead to 17-3 with 11 minutes remaining.
Saints defensive pass interference penalties covering 45 and 22
yards ignited an 80-yard drive that ended with Love running 1
yard for a touchdown on fourth-and-goal. Love's two-point
conversion pass to Samori Toure pulled the Packers within 17-11
with 6:58 left.
After a New Orleans punt, Love engineered another 80-yard drive
and threw an 8-yard touchdown to Romeo Doubs to put Green Bay
ahead with 2:56 left.
Winston drove the Saints into field-goal range, but rookie free
agent Blake Grupe, who had made all six of his NFL field-goal
attempts, was wide right from 46 yards with 1:05 left.
The Saints scored their first first-half touchdown of the season
when Carr threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Graham that gave
them a 7-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.
New Orleans increased the lead to 14-0 on Rashid Shaheed's
76-yard punt return in the second quarter.
Grupe kicked a 25-yard field goal with six seconds remaining to
increase the lead to 17-0 at halftime.
