GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Jordan Love had been keeping his passes short for most of the first half Sunday against the Cardinals. That was until he uncorked a deep shot for a 44-yard touchdown to receiver Christian Watson with 4:32 left in the second quarter.

Before that, Love had averaged just 5.8 air yards per attempt, which was on pace for his lowest mark of the season.

This one traveled 39.9 yards in the air, according to NFL Next Gen Stats.

On the first play of a drive that was set up by a 39-yard punt return by Keisean Nixon, coach Matt LaFleur called a play-action shot.
