Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has played at an elite level this season, and the advanced metrics back it up. Only three passers have a turnover-worthy play rate under 3% and a big-time throw rate over 5%: Jordan Love, Matthew Stafford and Drake Maye — the latter two firmly in the MVP conversation.
One of the biggest concerns among Packers fans heading into 2025 was Love’s ball security, but he’s flipped that narrative. He’s thrown just one interception over his last seven starts and has only three picks entering Week 14. For context, he had 11 at this point in 2024 and 10 in 2023.
Today’s Hottest Take: Love is the best QB in the NFC
Love delivered another masterful performance on Thanksgiving — once again at the Detroit Lions’ expense — throwing for 234 yards and four touchdowns. Entering Week 13’s Sunday slate, he ranked 2nd in total EPA, 1st in EPA per play, 1st in passing EPA, 7th in passing yards and 6th in passing touchdowns.
He also sat 9th in success rate, 3rd in CPOE, 1st in clean-pocket EPA, 2nd in clean-pocket success rate, 3rd in non-play-action EPA per play and 8th in non-play-action success rate.
Matthew Stafford and Dak Prescott are having great seasons, but context matters. Stafford is operating with a Pro Bowl running back in Kyren Williams, plus Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, all while being coached by arguably the best play-caller in football. Prescott has CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens at his disposal.
Meanwhile, Love has played multiple games without Jayden Reed, Christian Watson and Tucker Kraft. On top of that, Green Bay’s offensive line is on track for its worst pass-blocking efficiency in the last 15 years.
What You Need To Know: Love has taken what was once a weakness and turned it into one of his defining strengths.
One of the stories of the 2024 Packers offense was their inability to consistently attack the intermediate areas of the field. That limitation put a cap on their ceiling. In 2025, that weakness has flipped into a strength, and Love’s growth in that range has been one of the biggest drivers of Green Bay’s offensive leap.
Among 41 quarterbacks with at least 69 dropbacks, Love ranks 10th in completion rate, 8th in passing yards, 10th in yards per attempt, 3rd in passing grade, 7th in big-time throws and 4th in passer rating on intermediate concepts — while sitting 34th in turnover-worthy play rate.
Technically, intermediate concepts were a weakness for Love last year — or was he simply playing through injuries that affected his mechanics? Maybe. But what we’re seeing now is that a fully healthy version of Love has no issues operating in that area of the field. He’s attacking intermediate windows with confidence and precision, and it’s paying off in a big way for Green Bay’s offense.
Before You Go: Love’s best is yet to come
If you’re familiar with the Toyotathon conspiracy theory, then you know what it implies: Love turns into Superman once mid-November hits. His production during the Toyotathon window over the past two seasons has been absurd — 28 touchdowns to just two interceptions. Outside of that stretch, he has 29 touchdowns and 20 interceptions.
Love has already played two Toyotathon games in 2025 — the 23–6 win over the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau and the 31–24 victory in Detroit. Across those two matchups, he posted a 75.9 passing grade with four touchdowns, four big-time throws and just one turnover-worthy play, finishing with a 104.7 passer rating.
Green Bay has a tough stretch ahead. They’ll face the Chicago Bears twice in three weeks, travel to Denver to take on the Broncos in between and then host Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens in Week 17. If Love lets the Toyotathon spirit take over, Green Bay should have more than enough firepower to put points on the board — and potentially stack wins during this run.
