The Green Bay Packers have found themselves in a surprising position to some at this point in the season.
After an up-and-down year, the Packers can vault themselves into the playoffs with a win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
While there are several aspects to the Packers’ success, Jordan Love seems to be the primary catalyst.
He has played significantly better than many fans and analysts expected, demonstrating the Packers’ abilities to draft quarterbacks.
It might be early in his career for this team, but if early statistics indicate, Love could be a Packer for the foreseeable future.
As Packers reporter Peter Bukowski has highlighted, Love has the second-best offensive grade against current playoff teams, per PFF.
People who don’t watch the #Packers said Love was stat-padding against bad teams though. https://t.co/szyX6DvUWJ

He trails only Josh Allen in PFF’s grading and is ahead of CeeDee Lamb, George Kittle, and Lamar Jackson.
While Jackson and Allen have been mentioned in the MVP conversation as of late, Love has not.
Love has thrown for the tenth-most passing yards of any quarterback this season, but his 30 touchdown passes are only topped by Dak Prescott and Brock Purdy.
He has significantly impacted the Packers’ offense despite a commonly held belief that Bukowski is trying to dispel.
Love has a chance to prove his doubters even more wrong over the next several weeks, especially if he can help the Packers make it into the playoffs.
There is a chance that the Packers would play the Detroit Lions, a team they have already beaten this year, in the first round of the playoffs.
Can Love continue this unlikely run?
