BREAKING: Jordan Love Shatters Records and Silences Doubters — Packers QB Named NFC Offensive Player of the Week After Historic Duel With Steelers, Tying Brett Favre’s Legendary Streak and Leading Green Bay to Another Statement Win!
Jordan Love delivered one of the most electrifying performances of his young career as the Green Bay Packers toppled the Pittsburgh Steelers 35-25 in a primetime thriller. The victory not only extended Green Bay’s unbeaten streak but also marked a symbolic passing of the torch, with Love defeating his predecessor, Aaron Rodgers, in a game that showcased precision, poise, and undeniable leadership on the biggest stage.
In a night destined for the record books, Love completed 29 of 37 passes for 360 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions, earning a career-high passer rating of 134.2. But the true headline came when Love tied Brett Favre’s 2007 franchise record with 20 consecutive completions — a feat that reignited comparisons between the two eras of Packers greatness. Fans at Lambeau and across the league could feel the echoes of Green Bay history unfolding in real time.
Love’s performance also set an unprecedented mark in Packers history. According to team analysts, he became the first quarterback ever to record over 350 passing yards, three or more touchdowns, zero interceptions, zero sacks, and a completion rate above 75% in a single game. Efficiency met explosiveness in a performance that silenced months of skepticism and solidified Love’s place among the NFL’s rising elite.
“This moment means everything,” Love said after the game. “I’ve heard the doubts, I’ve felt the pressure, but I’ve always believed in this team and in what we’re building. To tie a legend like Brett Favre — that’s special. But this is just the beginning. We’re chasing something bigger here in Green Bay.” His words sent fans into a frenzy, a rallying cry that echoed through Wisconsin and beyond.
JORDAN. LOVE.

The NFL took notice, naming Love the NFC Offensive Player of the Week for his Week 8 heroics — the third such honor of his career and his first since late 2023. In a season already filled with milestones, Love’s recognition came as a testament to his steady rise from doubted prospect to undeniable franchise leader. The Packers haven’t seen a quarterback earn back-to-back weekly honors since the Rodgers era, making this achievement even more symbolic.
This latest accolade also marked the second straight week a Packers player took home an NFL award. Just last week, Micah Parsons was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week after a dominant three-sack showing against the Arizona Cardinals. Together, Love and Parsons are redefining the identity of a Green Bay team that looks increasingly complete on both sides of the ball.
Behind Love’s leadership, the Packers now stand at 5-1-1 — their best start since 2019 — and are rapidly emerging as one of the NFC’s most dangerous teams. Tight end Tucker Kraft exploded for 146 yards and two touchdowns in the win, while defensive standouts Rashan Gary and Parsons applied relentless pressure all night. The victory ended a decades-long drought in Pittsburgh, signaling that this team’s confidence and chemistry are peaking at the right time.
As the Packers push deeper into the season, Jordan Love’s performance stands as a defining moment — not just statistically, but spiritually. He has gone from living in the shadow of greatness to casting his own light across the NFL landscape. The doubts have faded, the comparisons are inevitable, and the message is clear: Jordan Love isn’t the future of Green Bay — he’s the present.
