Jordan Love comes out big against Rams

The offense got mostly mistake-free play from the former Liberty high standout though it was far from a flawless offensive showing. He completed 20 of 26 passes for 228 yards with one touchdown and a big one no interceptions. That gave him a 79 percent completion rate and a 115 QB rating. Second onle to his 123 rating in a 38-20 win over the Bears early in the season.

It’s been a tough 2023 season for the Green Bay and QB Jordan Love. The Bakersfield nave took over the reigns of a storied franchise after the departure of Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers. 

His biggest accomplishment came this week when he ended the teams four-game skid with a decisive 20-3 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. 

A Packers defense that came in ranked 20th in points allowed handled the Rams with ease as they were   playing without starting quarterback Matthew Stafford (thumb). Green Bay held Brett Rypien to just Brett Rypien to just 130 passing yards while forcing him into two turnovers. 

The offense got mostly mistake-free play from the former Liberty high standout though it was far from a flawless offensive showing.

Second onle to his 123 rating in a 38-20 win over the Bears early in the season. 

“It feels great to get a win, It was a full team effort,” said Love. 

“Having that lead the message was to go out and finish the game. I think the O-line did a great job and  went out to finish the game on a fourth and one”

However, Love and Co. finished strong. On the team’s final five possessions, the Packers went field goal, punt, field goal, touchdown and eight plays to run out the final 2:32.
At 3-5, the Packers are still long shots to make the postseason, but they’ll take a win as the season-long evaluation of Love continues.
