Jordan Love Is Carrying A Packers Offense With No Run Game

Despite challenges on the ground, Jordan Love's aerial prowess continues to elevate the Packers' playoff aspirations.

Jordan Love keeps stacking up the hardware, and this week brought another FedEx Air and Ground Player of the Week honor for the Green Bay Packers quarterback - his second time winning the award this season.

It comes during a stretch where Green Bay’s offense has leaned heavily on Love to carry the load. The Packers are sitting at 5-3, which has them in last place in the NFC North but still firmly in the NFC playoff picture.

That’s been possible even with the league’s worst rushing attack. Through eight weeks, Green Bay is averaging just 60.6 rushing yards per game, dead last in the NFL.

Love has helped cover up plenty of that ground-game trouble. Even with his pass catchers leading the NFL in dropped passes, he still leads the league in passing yards and ranks second in passing yards per game.

His latest award came after Thursday night’s performance, when he threw for 288 yards, three touchdowns and one interception while completing 30 of 41 passes.

The Packers celebrated the recognition with a simple message on social media: “HE’S LIKE THAT.

Love’s first FedEx honor of the season came in Week Five against the Chicago Bears, when he put up 367 passing yards, two touchdowns and completed 80.6% of his throws.

As part of this week’s award, FedEx will donate $2,000 to a local Feeding American location in Wisconsin.

Packers Walk Into A Patriots Moment That Will Dominate This Week

The Week 9 trip to New England already had a little extra shine for the Packers, and now it has a broadcast wrinkle to match. Tom Brady is set to call a Patriots game at Gillette Stadium for the first time in his broadcasting career when Green Bay visits Foxborough, adding another layer of attention to a matchup that was already going to draw plenty of eyes.

Brady said he is excited to return to the stadium where so many of his biggest moments unfolded, while Patriots coach Mike Vrabel and others around the organization have been taking stock of the occasion. The conversation around the game has also drifted toward Rob Gronkowskis upcoming Hall of Fame induction, giving this week in Foxborough a distinctly Patriots flavor even before the teams take the field.

Packers Trade Buzz Just Raised The Stakes For This Defense

With the NFL trade deadline drawing near, Green Bay has started to look like a team that could be more than a bystander. The Packers have reason to explore help on defense, especially with Micah Parsons expected back from injury, and the idea of adding another proven edge presence has only sharpened the conversation around how aggressive they want to be.

One name that has surfaced in that discussion is Khalil Mack, a veteran pass rusher who would give Green Bay another disruptive piece if the Chargers decide to listen. Los Angeles has stumbled this season, which only adds to the intrigue around whether a player of Macks caliber could become available, and for the Packers the appeal is obvious: a chance to deepen a defense that could get a lot more dangerous if the right move is made.

Josh Jacobs Puts Packers On Edge As NFL Wait Continues

Josh Jacobs situation has taken another turn as the Packers wait for the NFLs next move. The running back is already back in the middle of a difficult legal and league process after missing six games on the commissioner-exempt list following his May arrest, and recently released police records have now added fresh allegations from three women involving physical and verbal abuse.

For Green Bay, the uncertainty is the real issue. Jacobs has said he believes in his legal defense and expects to stay on the field for the rest of the season, but the NFL investigation is still ongoing, leaving the team to monitor a case that could continue to hang over its backfield. If the league eventually acts, any suspension would likely be applied against the games he has already missed, which only adds another layer to a situation the Packers would rather not have lingering into the stretch run.
