Jordan Love and the Packers are determined to end a three-game losing streak, and head coach Matt LaFleur believes the best way forward is together.
Green Bay lost consecutive games in failed bids to take the lead or win the game on a final drive, instead ending with Love interceptions.
“He’s done enough for me, to show me, that it’s all right there,” LaFleur said. “The better everybody is around him, the better he’s going to look. Our confidence is not wavering in him one bit.”
Love, who turns 25 next week, was intercepted six times in the past three games, including his final throw of the Week 7 loss at Denver on Sunday. He was also picked on his last throw the week before, a 17-13 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.
LaFleur said the message to the entire team this week is “find a way to win a game.”
“But by no means is this any fun going through this. It’s a grind. It really tests you mentally and it can be extremely frustrating. I realize that,” LaFleur said. “We’re all frustrated because there’s a lot of time, energy, effort that goes into this thing, and when you’re not getting the results it can be demoralizing — if you allow it to be.”
October has not been kind to the Packers of late. They were 1-4 in October 2022 as part of a five-game losing streak.
Green Bay (2-4) welcomes the Minnesota Vikings (3-4) on Sunday. The Packers beat the Vikings 41-17 at Lambeau Field last season and lost to them in the season opener in Minneapolis 23-7.
