Through the first three weeks of the NFL season, the Green Bay Packers might be leading the NFC North, but there's one thing they haven't done that the other three teams in the division have. That would be having their quarterback win the NFC Offensive Player of the Week award.
In Week 1, Vikings rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy won the award for bringing his team from behind to beat the Chicago Bears in hilarious fashion. There's definitely some debate about whether McCarthy truly deserved the award or not, especially after throwing a pick-six, but it was still his.
The next week, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff won the award after also beating the Bears in a blowout. The Bears then brought it full circle with second-year quarterback Caleb Williams winning the award for the performance he had against the pitiful Cowboys defense.
If the NFC North wants to do maybe the oddest thing ever and ensure that every team wins the award through four weeks, Love has to win it this week to complete the cycle. It's a doable task, too, as Love and the Packers get that aforementioned pitiful Cowboys defense in Week 4 on Sunday Night Football.
Jordan Love can pull off strange stat if he's able to win NFC Offensive Player of the Week
To say that the Cowboys' defense has been bad through the first three games would be an understatement. No team is allowing more passing yards per game than Dallas' 288. It's the perfect get-right game for Love and the Packers, who are coming off their first loss of the season to the Cleveland Browns, of all teams.

Love was sacked five times last week and under pressure constantly, but that hopefully won't be the case against a Cowboys team that has lacked a true pass-rusher. They did have one, but they traded him to... Oh, that's right, to Green Bay! Yeah, Micah Parsons is now fortunately donning the green and gold, which is another advantage for the Packers entering this game.
Love should be able to tee off on what's looking like a historically bad defense in Dallas. The added bonus is that he'll have the opportunity to do so on primetime television, meaning more people will get to watch it happen, and that should help his case in the NFC Offensive Player of the Week award race.
Typically, fans don't care too much about this sort of stuff, but to be the only NFC North team not to have its quarterback win the award in the first four weeks? Unacceptable. Get it done, Love. Go get the award that's rightfully yours.
