Talkin' Football: Wayne Larivee on the Packers' 39-22 Collapse in MinnesotaWayne Larivee, the voice of the Green Bay Packers Radio Network, joins Huggie, Natalie and Corey the morning after Green Bay let a 12 point lead get away and dropped the opener 39 to 22 at U.S. Bank Stadium.
Wayne says Jordan Love played heroically behind an offensive line that never had time to build chemistry, and he pinpoints the fourth quarter drive where the whole thing turned. Plus why he is fine with Matt LaFleur taking the points off the board, the six inches that decided fourth and one, and whether the Packers should have gone to the tush push. Or as Wayne calls it, the cheese squeeze.
In this episode:
Love's first half: 199 yards, two touchdowns and a 120.3 passer rating
The 81 yard strike to Christian Watson, who finished with 6 catches for 147 yards and two scores
