Jordan Love threw a touchdown pass, the Green Bay defense dominated and the Packers clinched a playoff berth by beating the visiting New Orleans Saints 34-0 on Monday night.<\/div>\n
Love passed for 182 yards, three teammates rushed for touchdowns and the Packers (11-4) scored touchdowns on their first three possessions en route to their ninth victory in the past 11 games.<\/div>\n
Green Bay possessed the ball for 37:13 and outgained New Orleans 404-196 in total yards.<\/div>\n
\n
Rookie Spencer Rattler completed 15 of 30 passes for 153 yards with an interception and a lost fumble for the Saints (5-10). He fell to 0-4 as a starter in place of injured signal-caller Derek Carr.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It was the first shutout in the NFL this season and marked just the second time New Orleans was shut out in its past 370 games.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Packers received the opening kickoff and drove 63 yards in 10 plays, the last of which was Love’s 2-yard touchdown pass to Dontayvion Wicks. The 7-0 lead held up through the end of the first quarter.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
On its second possession, Green Bay converted two third downs and two fourth downs during a 17-play, 96-yard march that ended with Josh Jacobs’ 2-yard touchdown run for a 14-0 lead.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Packers then went 67 yards in six plays, and Chris Brooks ran 1 yard for a touchdown and a 21-0 lead. Green Bay didn’t face a third or fourth down on that drive.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On the ensuing possession, the Saints reached the Green Bay 29, but Rattler fumbled while being sacked by Keisean Nixon, and Rashan Gary recovered the loose ball for the Packers, preserving a 21-0 lead at halftime.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Green Bay drove to Brandon McManus’ 55-yard field goal on its first possession of the third quarter to expand its lead to 24-0, and the score stayed that way through the end of the third quarter.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
McManus kicked a 46-yard field goal and Emanuel Wilson rushed 1 yard for a touchdown to complete the scoring.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Love connected on 16 of 28 passes, while Jacobs gained 69 yards on 13 carries.<\/div>\n
