Love matches a milestone from Rodgers' MVP campaign.

Packers’ Jordan Love matches Aaron Rodgers’ performance from his MVP season

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has matched a remarkable feat previously achieved by only one other Packers starter, Aaron Rodgers, during his MVP season in 2020. Love become the first Green Bay quarterback to throw at least two passing touchdowns in each of his team's first four games since Rodgers accomplished the same feat in 2020, ultimately winning the NFL MVP award.

Love continues to impress, completing 22 of 30 pass attempts for 197 yards and two touchdowns in a recent victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which improved the Packers' record to 2-2. His touchdown production has been a key positive for the Packers' offense as the young quarterback establishes himself as the team's leader. With Rodgers' record-setting performance still fresh in fans' minds, Love's consistent success thus far in the 2026 season offers an encouraging sign for both the quarterback and the Packers' future.
