The touchdown was Love’s fourth of the day and the second to Doubs.
Through three quarters, the former Aggie connected on 22 of his 31 pass attempts for 258 yards and four touchdowns. His stat line resulted in an impressive 122 quarterback rating.
Green Bay looked poised to win back-to-back games for the first time with Love back in the lineup.

About Jordan Love
Before his time in the league, the Bakersfield, California native played at USU from 2016-19. During his time with the Aggies, Love threw for 8,600 yards, 60 touchdowns, and 29 interceptions with a completion rate of 61 percent.
In 2020, the Packers traded up to select Love with the No. 26 overall pick in the NFL Draft.
During his rookie campaign, the former USU standout was inactive for each of Green Bay’s games.
Love saw limited action in his second and third seasons with the Packers and continued to serve as the backup to four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers. Following the 2022 season, the Packers traded Rodgers to the New York Jets. The Rodgers trade paved the way for Love to be Green Bay’s QB1 in 2023.
