Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love's interception problem seems to be carrying over to the playoffs.
At the start of the second quarter of Green Bay's road wild-card game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, Love tried to connect with wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks on a 2nd-and-7. However, Eagles cornerback Darius Slay intercepted him at Philadelphia's 22-yard line.
Later in the second quarter, Eagles linebacker Zack Baun picked him off on a 2nd-and-10 at Philadelphia's 48-yard line.

While Love looks like the franchise's future, he has tossed 22 interceptions in his first two seasons as a starter for the Packers. In 15 regular-season starts this season, he had 11 interceptions.
To his credit, Love played much cleaner in the second half of the season. In his last seven starts, he tossed no picks.
Despite that, it's easy to argue Love is still taking too many risks, and the 26-year-old must learn to stop forcing passes.
