Matt LaFleur: 'I would agree' that Jordan Love is playing at MVP level

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur would wholeheartedly agree that quarterback Jordan Love is playing at an MVP level after the team's dominant 45-27 victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday. LaFleur praised Love's performance, noting that he continued to take hits and throw despite the challenges posed by an inconsistent offensive line, pass protection issues, drops from receivers, and the absence of a reliable run game.

The Packers' dominant display in New England resulted in a season-high 45 points scored, surpassing the previous record of 42 points set at Gillette Stadium. Love's exceptional play was a significant factor in the team's success, contributing 372 passing yards, three touchdowns, and a rushing touchdown. This outstanding performance led to the fans chanting "MVP! MVP!" as the Packers exited the field.

LaFleur emphasized how Love's ability to consistently make deep throws has made his job as a coach much easier. He highlighted that Love is the only quarterback in the NFL to complete at least six deep passes (20+ air yards) in a game this season, a feat he has accomplished twice. No other quarterback in the league has achieved this. Love's average of 12.8 yards per attempt during the game was his second-highest single-game total in his NFL career.

With the Packers now 6-3 overall, having won five of their last six games, and Love continuing to produce impressive passing numbers, the case for him being a serious contender for the MVP award strengthens. An exceptional performance, especially in a high-stakes game like this one, will undoubtedly bolster his chances.
