Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has been trying to assert himself as their leader since 2023, when he played his first full season. But baby steps will not help him. There is a disturbing trend that has emerged since last year, putting extra pressure on him.

The Packers have lost all six games since Week 15 of 2024, when they have scored less than 26 points. On the other hand, they have an 8-0-1 record in the same span every time the team has scored 26 points or more.

In those 6 games, which the Packers have lost, including the playoff loss against the Philadelphia Eagles, here are some key facts from his performance.

• Love has 30 or more pass attempts in 4 of 6 losses. Conversely, in 6 of 8 wins, he has between 20-30 pass attempts.
• He has less than 200 passing yards in 4 of 6 defeats. He has 200+ passing yards in 4 of 8 wins.
• 2 or more sacks in 4 of 6 losses. Since Week 15 of the 2024 season, he has been sacked only twice or more in 2 of 8 games, which they have won.
• The Packers have only won 1 game in which his passer rating has been less than 91.7.

However, Jordan Love is playing along similar lines to his past two seasons. This season, the signal caller has a 6–3–1 record. He completed 210 of 310 passes for 2,421 yards. He improved his accuracy to 67.7% and threw 15 touchdowns and only 3 interceptions. His passer rating has jumped to 103.2, the best of his career so far.

While there is concern about the Packers’ and Love’s inconsistency, Green Bay was almost hit by a major injury scare in the Week 11 win over the New York Giants.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur cautions Jordan Love

Late in the first quarter, quarterback Jordan Love scrambled for four yards. But the Giants linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles took him down into the turf and sent him straight into the blue medical tent. Love stayed there briefly, then went to the locker room for more testing. The team listed him as questionable with a left (non-throwing) shoulder injury. But he missed only seven plays and returned at the start of Green Bay’s next possession. But HC LaFleur confirmed that they don’t need to worry much about Jordan Love.

“He’s doing good. Obviously, he’s definitely sore,” LaFleur said while asking his QB not to risk himself in such situations. “You can’t put yourself in those situations. I don’t know if he thought he is a little more elusive than what he really is, and thought he could get around him or not. Obviously, it didn’t work out.”

Well, the 6-3-1 Packers are safe for now. But when they are lined up against the Vikings, Lions, Bears, and Ravens in the next four games. And it will not be an easy walk down that road because these four games will pretty much decide their playoff fate this year.
