They said It

Head coach Matt LaFleur on things Jordan Love can clean up after a couple of fumbles during family night: “He’s touching the ball every snap, so he’s got to be great with it, and he knows that. I thought he was able to make a couple nice throws. There was a lot of good. I think more than anything else the tempo in and out of the huddle, making sure the communication is on point.”
