What happened: Micah Parsons publicly backed Jordan Love as an NFL MVP candidate following a four-touchdown display in Sunday's 45-27 victory over the New England Patriots. Love completed four touchdown passes during the road win to lift Green Bay to 6-3 on the season.
Why it matters: Love's surge has stabilized the Packers in the NFC playoff picture, where they hold the conference's seventh seed on a two-game winning streak. The endorsement from Parsons, currently on the physically unable to perform list, reinforces Love's standing among the league's top passers after consecutive multi-touchdown outings.
By the numbers: Love has completed 215 of 341 passes for 2,618 yards with 19 touchdowns and six interceptions through nine games in 2026. The Patriots dropped to 5-4 with the loss, while Green Bay improved to 6-3.
What to watch: Green Bay enters Week 11 seeking to extend its winning streak, while Parsons continues rehabilitation toward a return from his knee injury.
