Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers shook off a pair of recent missteps, dominating JJ McCarthy and the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field on Sunday with a convincing 26-3 win.
The Packers quarterback didn’t need to carry the Packers to make a statement against a divisional rival, completing 14 of 21 passes for 139 yards without a touchdown. Green Bay’s defense set the tone, allowing Love to manage the game carefully while the ground attack did the heavy lifting. Despite the limited workload, Love still absorbed some contact, which he addressed after securing the Packers’ seventh win of the 2025 NFL season.
“Packers QB Jordan Love says his shoulder “took a couple hits,” but it feels good afterward. No setbacks entering short week,” Ryan Wood wrote about Love in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

Cheeseheads got a reassuring update as Love reported feeling fine after the Vikings matchup. He has played every game this season, despite an injury scare in Week 11 against the New York Giants, when he left briefly with a sore shoulder before returning to finish the 27-20 victory.
Love has posted a 67.7 percent completion rate, thrown for 2,560 yards with 15 touchdowns and just three interceptions this season, marking his strongest showing since taking over as starter in 2023. His 70.0 QBR ranks fourth in the league, though he sits tied for 16th in touchdown passes.

In his best outing of the season, ironically against former mentor Aaron Rodgers, Love connected on 29 of 37 passes for 360 yards, the second-most of his career, while tossing three touchdowns. He became the first NFL quarterback to string together 20 consecutive completions, pass for over 350 yards, and throw three scores without a turnover or sack in the same game, leading the Packers to a 35-25 triumph.
The Packers, which limited Minnesota to just 145 total yards and forced three turnovers, will face the Detroit Lions on Thursday in a Thanksgiving Day matchup at Ford Field.
