What happened: Jordan Love drew a strong public endorsement Thursday with the line that teammates would "run through a brick wall" for him.

Why it matters: Early-season backing like that can shape how an offense's leadership is viewed as the schedule begins to take form. It also keeps Love at the center of the conversation after weeks of attention on his role in the offense.

What to watch: Watch for that sentiment to resurface in coach and player availability as the week moves toward the next game.
