2. Jordan Love impresses, has three total touchdowns

As much as Packers fans would love to see their team win this week, I’m sure many would just be pleased to see Jordan Love show promise. They’re going to get more than just promise, though. The 2020 first-round pick is going to show why the Packers traded up to get him, and put in an impressive three-touchdown performance against the Chiefs.

So far this season, teams have had absolutely no trouble scoring points on the Chiefs. Kansas City has already allowed 15 passing touchdowns this season.

Love clearly has talent. He lacks experience so he will make mistakes. But the Packers have time to build the game plan around Love’s skill set, and Matt LaFleur’s offense is a QB-friendly one. Not to mention Love is surrounded by talent, from one of the league’s best offensive lines to star players like Davante Adams and Aaron Jones.

This offense can move the football on the Chiefs’ defense, and once they get down into the red zone, they will score against a defense allowing touchdowns on 72.41 percent of red-zone trips, according to Team Rankings.

Love will finish the afternoon with two passing touchdowns, and he’ll even run one in himself. A fine debut for Love.
