The Green Bay Packers have the record that many analysts and fans predicted coming into the season.
Expectations were high for Jordan Love’s second season as the full-time starter, and after seeing what he did with the team in 2023, there was no reason to believe that this team was due for regression.
While their record might be 9-4 and in a great position to make the playoffs, one aspect of the Packers’ offense could be cleaned up.
For as well as Love has played this year, and how many times he’s led this team to either a surprising win or a remarkable comeback, turnovers have been his Achilles heel.
Love has thrown 11 interceptions in 11 games this season, an indication that his decision-making has been poor at times.
With that in mind, Andrew Hawkins recently appeared on “NFL Live” on ESPN, highlighting that this could be a weakness for this team down the stretch.
“This Packers team will go as far as Jordan Love’s ability to limit turnovers go,” Hawkins said.

Love has cleaned up his turnover issues lately, and as the crew on ESPN pointed out, he hasn’t thrown a pick in three consecutive games.
This included a pick-free game against the Detroit Lions, who, even though they were banged up, have a fantastic coaching staff and defense.
The Packers have showcased some firepower on both sides of the ball this season, but as Hawkins indicated, this team will seemingly live and die at the hands of Love.
