Jordan Love is one touchdown pass away from reaching 100 in his career, potentially doing so in his 57th regular-season start. He’s also leading the NFL in passing yards through eight games, putting him on pace to challenge Green Bay’s single-season record. The Packers’ passing game is thriving, but their league-worst rushing attack makes Love’s production especially important as Green Bay prepares to face New England.

By the Numbers
  • Love has 2,246 passing yards and 16 touchdown passes through eight games.
  • He needs 1 touchdown pass to reach 100 in his career.
  • Love is on pace for 4,772 passing yards; Green Bay’s record is 4,643.
  • The Packers average 271.0 passing yards and 60.6 rushing yards per game.
  • New England has won 4 of its last 5 games and allows 92.6 rushing yards per game.
Yes, But

Love’s explosive passing has helped offset a rushing attack that ranks last in the NFL. Green Bay is optimistic that Josh Jacobs’ return and a steadier offensive line can improve the ground game, but the Packers may continue leaning heavily on Love’s arm while that turnaround takes shape.

What's Next

Love and the Packers face a resurgent Patriots team on Sunday, with a chance to earn Green Bay’s sixth win and reach the 100-touchdown milestone. A more effective running game could make the offense less dependent on Love as the season progresses.

Bottom Line

Love is playing at a historic pace, but Green Bay’s biggest challenge is turning that individual production into a more balanced offense—and sustaining it against a strong New England run defense.
