NFL UPS AND DOWNS

By Marc Lawrence, PlybookSports.com — Do the Green Bay Packers have a Love problem? With the 2-4 Packers riding a 0-3 SUATS losing skein, there is serious concern about whether or not Jordan Love is the quarterback of the future in Green Bay.

Love ranks 22nd in passing yards (1,263), 28th in QB rating (79.4), and is tied for second in interceptions (seven), per USA TODAY. His pick Sunday against the Denver Broncos into double coverage when the Packers needed only a field goal to potentially win the game in an eventual 19-17 loss was baffling.

Meanwhile, as we approach the halfway point in the 2023 NFL season, the Eagles improved to 6-1 and made a statement.

Another six-win team, and the one Philadelphia played in Super Bowl 57, the Kansas City Chiefs, erupted on offense.

Patrick Mahomes went off for season highs in passing yards and touchdowns, which could mean trouble for the rest of the NFL. They were the winners on last week’s card, while Green Bay landed on the losers’ list.

In addition, Browns’ DE Myles Garret put his stamp as the front runner for Defensive Player of the Year with a performance for the ages in Cleveland’s win over a sticky Indianapolis team.
