Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has been named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week for Week 9 of the 2026 NFL season, capping a dominant performance against the New England Patriots. Love guided the Packers to a 45-27 victory, leading the team to the highest point total ever recorded by an opponent at Gillette Stadium. The award marks Love’s fifth career selection for the honor and serves as a significant momentum builder for Green Bay following their first win of the 2026 campaign.
Green Bay QB sets career-high passer rating and breaks Gillette Stadium scoring record
Love’s statistical output was historic, as he completed 23 of 29 passes for 372 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions. He also contributed on the ground with a 13-yard rushing touchdown. The quarterback posted a career-high passer rating of 153.2 in the start, finishing the week ranked first in the league for passer rating and second in passing yards. His efficiency was highlighted by six completions of at least 20 yards, including a decisive 39-yard strike to Christian Watson in the third quarter that extended the lead.
This recognition continues a streak of individual accolades for the Packers, who recently saw cornerback Brandon Cisse named NFL Defensive Rookie of the Month and safety Evan Williams named NFC Defensive Player of the Month for October. Love’s performance underscores his dual-threat capability and elite accuracy, positioning him as a central figure in Green Bay’s offensive resurgence. With the team gaining traction, Love’s ability to control the pace and exploit mismatches remains a critical asset for the Packers’ playoff aspirations.
