Packers quarterback Jordan Love hurt his knee in the season opener and he hurt his groin in midseason, but he’s been at full health in recent weeks and his play has reflected that change in circumstances.
Love has gone four straight games without throwing an interception and Love has thrown seven touchdowns in those contests. He’s also posted passer ratings over 100 in each of the last five games, which has helped the Packers put themselves in position to clinch a playoff spot with a win over the Saints on Monday night.
Love closed out last season on the same kind of hot streak, but head coach Matt LaFleur said on Thursday that he thinks the quarterback has played at an even higher level than he did in the past.
“This is the best ball he’s played,” LaFleur said, via the team’s website. “Just when I look at all the little things.”
Love said he thinks he’s been playing at a “decent level” before adding that he believes there is “definitely some stuff I can clean up” in order to boost his performance even more. If he’s able to do that, the Packers are going to be a very tough team to deal with in the postseason.
