Packers’ offense looks to keep momentum building

GREEN BAY – Jordan Love was thinking completions, not statistics.

It was only after the Packers put away the Los Angeles Rams for a much-needed 20-3 victory on Sunday that Green Bay’s first-year starting quarterback dug into the numbers and saw the efficiency with which the offense operated.

The Packers posted season highs in total yards (391), rushing yards (184) and time of possession (35:16), while Love registered his highest completion percentage of the year (76.9%) after completing 20 of 26 passes for 228 yards and a touchdown.

Much of that had to do with how Green Bay finished the game. After surviving two turnovers in the third quarter, the Packers scored 13 points in the final 17 minutes, 13 seconds to shut the door on LA.

Love threw just one incompletion – a third-and-16 pass intended for Aaron Jones – but was otherwise flawless in completing 12 of 13 passes for 140 yards and a touchdown (137.2 passer rating) in the second half.

“You don’t even really realize the stats that are going on during the game,” said Love on Wednesday. “That’s one thing that I was trying to focus on going forward is just finding those completions and getting those positive plays, and it felt like that.”

Across the board, Green Bay’s offensive players felt they had their best practice week of the season going into the Rams game. Coincidentally, the Packers are also the healthiest they’ve been on that side of the ball all year.

Back from a lingering hamstring injury, Jones posted season highs in both touches (24) and snaps (41). The return of the former Pro Bowler seemed to have a cascading effect on the rest of the offense, which scored its first touchdown in the first half in more than a month.

Love pushed the ball downfield like he has been but did so with increased accuracy, especially in the second half. Five of Green Bay’s six longest passing plays came in the final two quarters, including Love’s 37-yard deep shot to Christian Watson.

Watson got the wind knocked out of him when he came down with the ball but was otherwise fine. The 6-foot-4, 208-pound receiver practiced in full on Wednesday.

“I think we knew right out the gate that had a good plan, and we were going to be able to get it done,” said Watson, who leads Green Bay with 17.1 yards per reception this year. “A lot of the times this season it’s come down to us doing it to ourselves. The…
