Skip Bayless is not someone who shies away from commenting on his opinions. While his comments can be quite unpredictable, this time it was praise. Bayless commented that Love’s performance in the second half was great. Furthermore, he added that the Packers could count on this player in the future. Bayless also complimented Love’s physical strengths like his arm scalability, along with calling him ‘resilient’.

Jordan Love was a rightful owner of the praise as the player quarterback amassed a total of 246 yards with one touchdown in the game. Although he was sacked five times, intercepted twice, and had a 69.9 passer rating.

“I think just offensively as a whole we’ve just got to start faster,” said Love. “We don’t start fast and we kind of get behind and it’s hard running the ball. We get put in situations where you’ve got to throw the ball. So I think we’ve just got to start faster.” Besides, Love’s team players had his back and their valuable contributions to the scorecard as well.
