What happened: Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is gaining traction in the NFL MVP race behind front-runners Josh Allen and Joe Burrow. Love has kept Green Bay in playoff contention despite offensive line injuries and limited rushing production.
Why it matters: Green Bay currently holds the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoff picture on a two-game winning streak. Sustained production from under center keeps the franchise positioned for a postseason berth down the stretch.
By the numbers: Love has completed 215 of 341 passes for 2,618 yards with 19 touchdowns and 6 interceptions in 2026 through 9 games. Burrow has completed 195 of 267 passes for 2,115 yards with 20 touchdowns and 6 interceptions in 2026 through 7 games.
What to watch: The Packers look to extend their winning streak as regular-season action continues.
