The Packers inked star quarterback Jordan Love to a mammoth four-year, $220 million extension over the summer, making him one of the league’s highest-paid hurlers and cementing his status as the franchise’s leading light in the years to come.

With six seconds left in the contest and Philadelphia clinging to a five-point advantage, Love crumbled to the ground after appearing to get his leg caught in the grasp of an opposition defender. He stayed on the ground for an extended period of time, prompting Green Bay’s medical personnel to stream onto the field and tend to his injury.
