GREEN BAY, WI (WSAU) – Packers quarterback Jordan Love continues to have a record season with only one home win against Chicago away.
Since Week 12, Love has been the highest-graded quarterback in the NFL, according to Pro Football Focus (90.4), and since Week 11, he’s thrown 16 passing touchdowns with only one interception.
Love also ranks second in the NFL in touchdown-to-interception ratio behind only Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and second in EPS/dropback behind only 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy.
Head coach Matt LaFleur praised Love following his strong performance against the Vikings, saying, “I think Jordan Love, I can’t say enough great things about him. Just his ability to hang in there versus some tough looks. Drifting away from pressure. Putting the ball in play. Allowing his guys to go make plays. I think he’s playing at an incredibly high level. I’m super happy for him because he’s put in a ton of work to get to this point.”
“I really think the sky’s the limit for him. He’s just showing a glimpse of what he can ultimately be,” LaFleur continued.
Through 17 career starts, Love now has one more touchdown pass and two fewer interceptions than his former teammate and future hall-of-fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers had in 2008. Rodgers praised Jordan Love and Matt LaFleur on Tuesday’s episode of the Pat McAfee Show.

According to Packers Wire, Love’s completion percentage was 72.7, having completed 24 of 33 passes. With a passer rating of 125.3, which was his second-highest of the season and his ninth game over 100.0 overall this season, he averaged 7.8 yards per attempt, did not commit a turnover, and did not take a sack against Minnesota.
Love will now enter Sunday’s “win and you’re in” game against the Bears with 3,849 passing yards and 30 touchdown passes this season, which is a mark that no Chicago Bears quarterback has ever reached in a season in their franchise history.
