In his 10th start as the official successor to Aaron Rodgers, Jordan Love showcased a milestone performance, leading the Green Bay Packers to a 23-20 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers at Lambeau Field. Love achieved his first 300-yard game, marking the team’s first in almost two years, and orchestrated a game-winning drive.
Love’s progression throughout the season reflects the Packers’ efforts to find their rhythm and groove on offense. The young quarterback expressed optimism about the chemistry building within the team, emphasizing the need to continue building on their current momentum.
The game saw Love connecting with Christian Watson for a pivotal touchdown, showcasing a play that was not initially part of the game plan but was improvised on the sideline. Love finished the game with 27-of-40 passing, 322 yards, and two touchdowns, earning a passer rating of 108.5. Rookies, including Dontayvion Wicks, Jayden Reed, and tight ends Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft, contributed significantly to the passing game.

Notably, Love’s performance has contributed to the Packers achieving a 4-6 record, while Rodgers’ team in 2008 had a 5-5 record through the same period.
