Golden is putting up huge numbers, but he's had minimal success on those contested plays where Love lobs it up to him in tight coverage. In Thursday's game, Love underthrew one of those passes for what was frankly a stupid interception with Green Bay leading in the second half.

Negative signalRole

In Thursday's game, Love underthrew one of those passes for an interception with Green Bay leading in the second half.
