Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week for Week 8 after his stellar performance in the team’s 35-25 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night.
Love went 29/37 for 360 yards, 3 touchdowns, no interceptions, and a passer rating of 134.2, which is a career-high for any regular season start. Love also tied a franchise record with 20 straight completions originally set by Brett Favre in 2007.
According to Wes Hodkiewicz of Packers.com, Love is the first quarterback in franchise history to have 350+ passing yards, 3+ passing touchdowns, no interceptions, no sacks, a 75+ completion percentage, and 9.5+ yards per attempt in a single game. Love is now 11-0-1 as a starter when he has a 115+ passer rating.
This is the third time Jordan Love has won the award. Previously he won during weeks 17 and 18 in 2023 for his performances against the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears, respectively. That was also the last time any Packer won Offensive Player of the Week.
However, this is the second week in a row that a Packers player has won a player of the week award. Micah Parsons won NFC Defensive Player of the Week last week after recording three sacks against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7.
