Jordan Love

Where do we start with Jordan Love? He has been outstanding over the past month.

The signs were there earlier in the season. Even when the Packers were losing games to the Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings, it was hard to put too much blame on Love. Green Bay's young receivers often ran wrong routes, and even when Love threw accurate passes on time, there were too many drops.

But as the receiving corps has grown in confidence, so has Love. His play has been ascending since the victory over the Los Angeles Rams. Over the past three games, Love has looked like a franchise quarterback.

In wins over the Chargers, Lions, and Chiefs, Love has completed 74 of 108 passes (68.5 percent) for 857 yards and eight touchdowns with no interceptions. That gives him a passer rating of 116.9.

Love is so poised in the pocket. He is calm under pressure, makes smart decisions, and is playing with confidence. He is also making several wow throws a game, something we saw a lot during training camp.

Love's teammates never wavered in their belief in him, no matter how tough it got for the Packers. We're seeing why. They knew.
