Last September Jordan Love had one of the best statistical games of his six-year career. His 389 yards and 32 completions are both career highs and the four touchdown passes is tied for a career best with last year’s win over the Arizona Cardinals.

However, Love also finished the game with three interceptions, which played a big part in the 31-29 to the rival Vikings. Since Love became the team’s starting quarterback in 2023, the Packers are just 1-3 against the Vikings and 0-2 at Lambeau Field.

The Packers also had identical records in 2023 and 2024 against the Detroit Lions. In that week 1 contest, Green Bay turned in best performance of the season, defeating the two-time defending division champions in a convincing 27-13 win.

I just...can't describe how fucking good Jordan Love was yesterday. Seeing it in person was like seeing your favorite group in concert. Total rock star.

The Packers quarterback is coming off a so-so statistical day against the New York Giants, but he led the Packers to their 3rd win in six weeks when trailing at some point in the 4th quarter. The Packers had the ball and trailing in the other three games. The first was the tie against Dallas, the second was the loss against Carolina and third was the loss to Philadelphia. In the Cowboys and Panthers games the Packers offense either tied or took the lead in the 4th quarter.

Love's 4th quarter touchdown pass to Christian Watson was his 5th career go-ahead touchdown pass in the final five minutes of a game. It was the third game where the Packers held on for a win (2023 New Orleans, 2023 LA Chargers the other two).

Heading into the Week 12 contest, the Vikings have been very up and down. In one week they have an impressive come-from-behind victory over the Chicago Bears and then they lay an egg against the Atlanta Falcons. They followed up their win against the Detroit Lions with two straight home losses to the Baltimore Ravens and Chicago Bears.

This is likely with what comes from having a rookie quarterback. The Packers entered their 2023 and 2024 matchups with the younger starting quarterback in three of those four matchups. All three of those were losses; two to Sam Darnold and one to Kirk Cousins. The lone packers win in the rivalry was in 2023 when Jaren Jall and Nick Mullens took the snaps at quarterback.

The game was a runaway 33-10 win, with Love finishing three touchdown passes, two to Jayden Reed and another to Bo Melton. Melton had over 100 yards receiving, the only 100-yard performance from a wide receiver in the 2023 regular season.

In last seasons two games, the Vikings defense led by Brian Flores was able to neutralize the Packers passing game. Last season, after having the big performance in Week 4, the Flores-led defense allowed just 185 yards from Love and one touchdown pass, which came in the final two minutes of the game.

The Vikings defense will show a lot of Cover 2 to the Packers offense. After struggling in the two games against the Vikings last year, Love has been very successful against Cover 2 this season. According to PFF and Daire Carragher on X, Jordan Love is completing 91.7% of his passes against Cover-2 this season, per PFF — a modern NFL record. Against Cover 2 this season Love is 33/36 for 392 yards.
