Brisker Dampens the Jordan Love Excitement Despite Packers' Victory
Despite Packers' quarterback Jordan Love delivering a dominant performance in his first start during the post-Aaron Rodgers era, Chicago's starting safety, Jaquan Brisker, remained unimpressed by the young signal-caller.
Love's display was nearly flawless, amassing 245 passing yards and three touchdowns in Green Bay's 38�20 victory on the road, extending the Packers' winning streak against Chicago to nine consecutive games. Remarkably, the Packers have held a 14�1 record over the Bears since 2016.
It appears that the longstanding rivalry within the NFC North has clouded the judgment of Chicago's young safety, as he described Love as "nothing special" when addressing reporters after Sunday's defeat.
"He's just Jordan Love. Number 10. Packers quarterback. He's nothing special," remarked Brisker.
While Love's performance drew praise for its solid production, it failed to earn the respect of their fierce divisional rival.
Love's performance was all the more remarkable considering that he was without his top receiving target, Christian Watson, who was sidelined due to a hamstring injury. The third-year quarterback heavily relied on Romeo Doubs, who recorded four receptions for 26 yards and two touchdowns.
The 2023 NFC North rivalry will resume in Week 18 at Lambeau Stadium, and Brisker's remarks are likely to serve as motivation for Love and the Packers as they aim to maintain their dominance over the Bears.
