Despite the doubters, Love thrived with one of the youngest teams in the NFL and continued to improve as the season went on. He helped Green Bay surge in the second half of the regular season, winning two games against the Packers’ division rivals, the Vikings and the Bears, to secure a spot in the NFC Wild Card round.
At that time, the appreciation for love was raised to a new level throughout the sports world. Jordan Love led the Green Bay Packers to an upset of the second-seeded Dallas Cowboys, a defense that ranked fourth in the NFL in expected points added (EPA) per game while passing 16 of 21 for 272 yards. , completed three touchdowns. And no. obstacle.
Not bad for a quarterback in his first season as a starter. Lyubov was a wildcard winner with a passer rating of 157.2. Football fans will recognize that this is very close to a perfect rating of 158.3.
That’s a rare stat line for any quarterback, even in the playoffs. While the Green Bay QB had another decent performance against the San Francisco 49ers in the road divisional round, he made the rare avoidable mistake of throwing the ball to his body over outside center. The Packers’ late field goal gave the 49ers the win. However, Love’s performance in his first season as a starting pitcher cannot be overlooked.
Love played in his first Marquette men’s basketball game Saturday at Fiserv Forum. The Green Bay Packers quarterback enjoyed watching the No. 14 Golden Eagles beat Seton Hall 75-57.It remains to be seen if Love will become a big fan of MU Hoops. But one thing is certain. Marquette coach Shaka Smart is a big fan of the young NFL star.After the game, Smart wasn’t shy about praising Love. “My favorite streak was at home,” Smart said. “I like Jordan Love. “I haven’t watched much of the NFL since I started coaching. But now I watch the Packers because of him. So it was really nice to have him here. “And Jordan, we need to find a way to get your address so we can send you lots of stuff from the market.”Earlier, Shaka Smart said Marquette was undefeated when new Bucks coach Doc Rivers, a Golden Eagles legend and Smart’s mentor, broadcast the game live. It also had a message about love.
“And you’re undefeated.” Smart said. “So we have to bring you back.”Clearly, Smart is now a big fan of Jordan Love, and it will be interesting to see if the two Wisconsin sports figures form a lasting friendship going forward.
