GREEN BAY, Wis. – Jordan Love will face the biggest test of his young career when the Green Bay Packers host the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. In fact, it might be the biggest test he’ll face all season.
In replacing Aaron Rodgers, Love is off to a promising start. His six touchdowns in two games are the fourth-best start to a season in team history. Lynn Dickey had eight in the first two games in 1983, and Brett Favre (1996) and Aaron Rodgers (2013) opened seasons with seven touchdowns. Rodgers had six touchdowns through four games when he replaced Favre in 2008.
