Matt LaFleur didn’t need Jordan Love’s box score to tell him what he saw Sunday night.
After the Packers’ home win over the Cowboys in Week 6, Green Bay’s coach was blunt in his assessment of his quarterback: “He's a G. We talk about playing like a G. He's a G,” LaFleur said, per Packers writer Zach Jacobson.
Love’s stat line was solid rather than spectacular. He threw for 276 yards, added two touchdowns - one through the air and one on the ground - and was intercepted once. But the bigger picture has been trending up for Green Bay’s quarterback after a rocky start to the season.
Over his previous two games, Love has piled up 567 passing yards and completed more than 70 percent of his throws. The offense has also benefited from the emergence of multiple dependable targets, with Christian Watson and Matthew Golden giving Love real help on the perimeter.
Golden was especially sharp against Dallas. He caught six passes for 104 yards and a touchdown, his third 100-yard receiving performance in his last four games.
There is some concern surrounding the possible injury to tight end Tucker Kraft, but the Packers should also get a boost from Josh Jacobs’ looming return, which could help revive a running game that has been sputtering.
Still, this team’s direction rides most heavily on Love. He has shown he can come through in big moments, but if the Packers want to keep moving deeper into the postseason, he’ll need to hit another gear.

Packers Have A Bigger Matthew Golden Question After Those Costly Drops
Matthew Golden has become one of the brighter developments in the Packers offense in his second NFL season, turning a promising rookie profile into real production for Jordan Love. The 23rd overall pick in 2025 has cleared 500 receiving yards, found the end zone three times and climbed to sixth in the league in receiving yards, a sign that his role has grown into something much more central than simple depth-chart momentum.
So the drops against the Cowboys matter less as a referendum on Golden than as the latest test of how Green Bay handles a young receiver with expanding responsibilities. The Packers and offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich have been steady in their belief in him, and the bigger question now is how quickly Golden can turn a few costly mistakes into another step forward without losing the trust he has already earned.

Packers Receiver Situation Just Got More Interesting After Savion Williams Debut
Savion Williams finally got his first game action of the season after the Packers activated the rookie receiver from injured reserve, and it came at a time when Green Bays wideout room already had a lot going on. Offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich made it clear the team likes the talent Williams brings, especially as he continues working on the finer points of his game, with route running a key part of that development.
The timing matters for the Packers because the receiver depth chart has been shifting, with Skyy Moore now on injured reserve and Jayden Reed still there as well. Williams debut against the Cowboys gave Green Bay another look at what he can add, and it also raised the natural next question for a team trying to sort out how its passing game will hold together from here.

Brewers World Series Run Is Turning Wisconsin Into Baseball Country
The Milwaukee Brewers march to the 2026 World Series has done more than fill the summer with baseball buzz.

Now the Brewers are set to face the Tampa Bay Rays, with Game 1 scheduled at American Family Field in Milwaukee. For a state that usually lives and breathes football this time of year, the timing and the stage have made this a rare stretch when baseball has taken center stage, and the full extent of that crossover is showing up in places Packers fans are not used to hearing it.
