It is the fifth NFC Offensive Player of the Week award of Love’s career, according to Pro Football Talk.
Love’s Week 9 numbers
Love completed 23 of 29 passes for 372 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions in the Packers’ 45-27 win over the Patriots. His 153.2 passer rating was a career high, Super West Sports noted. He also ran for a 13-yard touchdown and added a two-point conversion, according to Packers.com.
Pro Football Focus named him its Quarterback and Offensive Player of the Week after he recorded six big-time throws, the third time this season he has topped five in a game.
Receivers Christian Watson and Matthew Golden caught nearly everything thrown their way, KCCR noted. Our Packers-Patriots recap has the full breakdown.
A jump in the MVP race
The performance also moved Love into the MVP conversation. His odds jumped from +2500 to +650 after Week 9, according to Sportsbettingdime. Joe Burrow and Josh Allen still lead the race, as we covered in our NFL midseason report.
Love has also been a regular winner of the fan-voted FedEx Air & Ground award, taking it in Week 5 and Week 8, according to NFL.com.
