The Green Bay Packers coaching staff and front office spent months raving about Jordan Love and his development.
However, we only saw some minor glimpses early in the season, and we had to wait until Thanksgiving to finally witness him at his best.
Love was almost flawless right out of the gate and had a great first half, dominating the Detroit Lions on the road to avoid a season sweep and put an end to a four-game winning streak against them.
Following the game, HC Matt LaFleur claimed it was ‘night and day,’ stating that his QB1 has made great strides in the past month and has fared much better lately (Via The Score).

Love completed 22 of 32 passes for 268 yards and three touchdowns, adding three rushes for 39 yards and no turnovers.
His connection with Christian Watson was deadly.
He had five grabs on seven targets for 94 yards and one touchdown, torching the Lions’ usually solid secondary more often than not.
The Packers are now 5-6 and have officially straightened the course of the ship with back-to-back wins and two wins in their past three games.
Love hasn’t thrown an interception in back-to-back games and finally looks more poised and calm out there.
The Packers have dealt with multiple injuries all season long, and that has also taken a toll on his ability to be at his best.
They have a tough task up next, as they’ll host Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs for Sunday Night Football, but they get the Giants, Bucs, Panthers, Vikings, and Bears next, so they still have a chance to make the playoffs.
