Love’s Four-Touchdown Day Fuels MVP Talk

Jordan Love strengthened his case for NFL MVP with a four-touchdown performance in the Green Bay Packers’ 45-27 victory over the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium on November 8. He completed 23 of 29 passes for 372 yards and three scores, and added a 13-yard rushing touchdown.

The win moved Green Bay to 6-3. Former New York Jets and Buffalo Bills coach Rex Ryan named Love his MVP choice on November 9, pointing to the quarterback’s role in keeping the Packers’ offense productive despite its league-worst rushing attack. Ryan said Love had been “extraordinary this year.”

Love tops the NFL in passing yardage with 2,618 and has recorded 19 touchdown passes through nine games. He has delivered three passing touchdowns in each of Green Bay’s past two wins, completing 75.7% of his throws over that stretch.

His yards per attempt remain at 7.7, matching last season, while his passer rating has fallen from 101.2 to 97.9. Betting markets still place Joe Burrow and Josh Allen as co-favorites for the MVP award at +220. Love is at +750, level with Trevor Lawrence in the market’s fourth position, with Brock Purdy ahead of them.

Love will have another opportunity to bolster his candidacy in Week 10, when Green Bay faces Minnesota’s highly regarded defense in a key division matchup.
