Watch: Jordan Love, Luke Musgrave torch Cowboys defense on 38-yard TD

By Michael Gallagher | Last updated 1/14/24

Over the last 10 weeks, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has performed as well as any passer in the NFL.

The Dallas Cowboys defense had no answer for the 25-year-ol QB during Super Wild Card Weekend, as he connected with rookie tight end Luke Musgrave on a 38-yard touchdown in the final two minutes of the third quarter which put Green Bay up 41-16.

It’s just the second time this season the Cowboys have allowed an opponent to score 40 or more points.

WIDE OPEN!

It was Love’s second touchdown pass of the game, both of which were 20 yards or longer. Love completed 15 of 18 passes (83 completion percentage) for 269 yards and two scores at time of publication, marking the fifth straight game in which Love threw multiple touchdowns.

The Dallas defense, which surrendered the fifth-fewest points (20.1) and 12th-fewst yards per game (330.2), allowed 363 yards and 41 points through the first five minutes of the fourth quarter.

If the Packers close out the win, it’ll mark their ninth win in 10 games over the Cowboys dating back to 2010.
