    The Green Bay Packers defeated the New Orleans Saints by a score of 20-10 on Friday night at Lambeau Field in front of a crowd of 71,754. The Packers are now 1-1 with one more preseason tuneup left before the season opener against the Minnesota Vikings on September 11th. You can find a box score from the win here. Below are highlights from Green Bay’s first W of the preseason:

    Jordan Love uses his mobility for a first down

    Love got the start behind center with Aaron Rodgers sitting out. He used his legs for an 11-yard pickup and a first down on the game’s first play. Love ran for 13 yards on three carries.

    On the Saints’ following possession, Book turned the ball over again. Abernathy jumped a route near the sideline and made a diving catch, while landing his knee in-bounds, for an interception.

    Abernathy is in his first year with the Packers after signing on August 10th. He also flashed for a tackle for loss as he blew up a New Orleans screen.

    Danny Etling keeps it himself for a 51-yard score

    The offense was quiet in the second half until Etling showed off his sneaky wheels. The LSU alum kept the ball on a read and sprinted down the sidelines for a 51-yard rushing touchdown. Rodgers’ reaction may be the best part of the highlight:
