The Story in 60 Seconds

Zach Rapport of Acme Packing Company argues that Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is being forced to carry a one-dimensional offense amid significant offensive struggles. Through eight games, Love leads the NFL with 2,246 passing yards and 16 touchdowns, placing him on pace for a franchise-record 4,772 yards. However, the writer notes that Love is overcoming rare offensive adversity to maintain the Packers' 5-3 record.

The team is averaging an NFL-decade-low 60.6 rushing yards per game and leads the league with 23 dropped passes. Rapport contends that Green Bay must provide better run blocking and support from the rest of the offense rather than continuously relying on Love to overcome these extreme deficiencies.
