Jordan Leads Packers to Victory Against Bears
Chicago – It turns out Aaron Rodgers might only be a co-owner of the Chicago Bears. It appears that Jordan has left Soldier Field, possibly taking a piece of it with him.
The story is the same for the beleaguered Bears.
On the same field where two years ago Rodgers told the Bears’ faithful after another Packers victory over their NFC North rivals, “I still own you,” He began his tenure in a similar fashion.
The Packers’ win of 38-20 in the post-Rodgers era’s first game sent a clear message.
“After the game, Aaron Jones stated, “Nothing has changed.” “We’re still the Packers.”
Whether Love has a 15-year career tracking the footsteps of Rodgers and Brett Favre or not, the Packers are his now. He waited for this moment, serving as a backup for three years, and at least for one afternoon, he made Brian Gutekunst’s bold move to trade up for a quarterback in the first round of the 2020 draft look visionary.
It was the Packers’ ninth consecutive win over the Bears, but it felt like much more.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur said, “There’s a lot of belief in that locker room for Jordan Love.” “I think guys are rallying around him. They’re excited for him. They love him. They respect him In a consistent fashion, he arrives at his workplace exuding an admirable demeanor and an aura of remarkable vitality. I think you saw that today.”
And it could be heard behind the closed doors of the Packers’ locker room too. When Jordon Love was presented with the game ball, waves of joy erupted.
Jordon said, “It’s definitely been a long time for me, three years as a backup.” “Just to see, learn, grow, see this team working, lead those guys, and ultimately come out here and play with those guys and get a win with those guys, it’s a great feeling that we wanted.”
Jordon made it look easy, especially with a scoring drive to start in the opening possession. He showed poise in the pocket, pump-faked to free up Romeo Dubs, then hit him on a crossing route for an 8-yard touchdown.
At that point, it felt like a struggle. The game was 10-6 at halftime.
Then it looked like an old LaFleur offense. A deceptive screen pass turned into a 51-yard catch and run for Jones, which changed into a 1-yard touchdown run. By the time Jones caught a dump-off pass for 35 yards and a touchdown in the third and fourth quarters, the Packers led 24-6.
Dubs’ second touchdown was entirely a 4-yard fade — Love’s first real hiccup came after a 37-yard pass to rookie wide receiver Luke Musgrave in the corner of the end zone. His third touchdown pass made it 31-14. In the first week of the NFL season, he was the first quarterback with three touchdown passes.
With a big assist from Jones, who had 13 catches for 127 yards and two touchdowns on 15 targets, He completed 27 of 45 passes for 245 yards without a turnover.
Elgton Jenkins, the left guard, said, “I told him thought he was going to go for 300 with three toughdowns, but he went for 250 with three touchdowns [approximately]”. We’ll take it, though.
The love in the red zone was especially strong, converting seven of eight times on third and fourth downs, including five times in the red zone.
Love, on Sunday, had only one position that really mattered: 1-0.
He’s far from 24-5—the Packers’ record against the Bears, but as cornerback Jaire Alexander put it: “D-Pac is back.”
Or maybe it never left because Rodgers left the city for the New York Jets.
Jordon said, “I was definitely imagining just getting a win tomorrow, coming out of the field after a win; I was telling myself, ‘I’m going to play great, we’re going to play great.'” “That’s what I kept telling myself. And still waking up today, just imagining that we were going to get this win and we were going to play really well today.”
