Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love earned NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors Wednesday after a dominant showing against the New England Patriots.
Love completed 23 of 29 passes for 372 yards and three touchdowns in the 45-27 road win. He added a 13-yard rushing touchdown and finished with a career-high 153.2 passer rating, his best mark with at least 15 attempts.
The performance ranked among the strongest of his seven-year career. Love did not throw an interception, continuing a stretch of strong ball security in recent games.
Through nine weeks, Love leads the NFL with 2,618 passing yards. His 19 touchdown passes rank third league-wide, and he has done much of it behind a patchwork offensive line.
Love also leads the league in completions of 20 yards or more (40), 25 yards or more (27) and 40 yards or more (12). Sunday marked his second game this season with six completions of 25-plus yards, the other coming against Chicago in Week 5.
No other quarterback has posted even one such game in 2026. The last player to do it twice in a season was San Francisco’s Brock Purdy in 2022. Since 1994, Love is the only Packers quarterback to record two such games in the same year.
This is the fifth time Love has won the weekly NFC award. He claimed it twice in 2025 and twice more during the final two weeks of the 2023 season.
The Packers also announced that Love received the FedEx Air & Ground NFL Player of the Week award for the second consecutive week. Over his last two games, he has thrown for 660 yards and six touchdowns.
Green Bay opened the year 1-2 but has since won five of six games, with the offense driving much of the turnaround. The Packers host the Minnesota Vikings in a key NFC North matchup in Week 10.
Love’s production has kept him in the MVP conversation despite the injuries along the line. Teammates and coaches have pointed to his ability to create explosive plays even when protection has been inconsistent.
Safety Evan Williams was named NFC Defensive Player of the Month for October after recording 41 tackles, two interceptions, four passes defensed, a sack, three quarterback hits and a fumble recovery across five games. The Packers went 4-1 in that stretch.
Rookie cornerback Brandon Cisse earned NFL Defensive Rookie of the Month honors for the same period. He posted 21 tackles (two for loss), one sack, one interception and seven passes defensed.
Cisse’s interception, the first of his career, came against Dallas’ Dak Prescott in Week 6. He is the first Packers player to win the league’s Defensive Rookie of the Month award since linebacker Edgerrin Cooper in December 2024.
The dual recognition for Love, combined with the defensive monthly awards, underscores Green Bay’s recent surge heading into the second half of the schedule.
