East Rutherford, NJ \u2013 November 16, 2025<\/strong> \u2013 Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love\u2019s Week 11 performance against the New York Giants was far from perfect, but it was effective enough to secure a much-needed 27-20 victory. Despite some struggles in the passing game, including multiple drops from his receivers, Love managed to throw for 174 yards and two touchdowns, helping the Packers bounce back after two straight losses.<\/p>\n

However, the victory came at a cost for the Packers\u2019 starting quarterback. In the first quarter, Love sustained a shoulder injury following a hit from Giants linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles after a four-yard scramble. The hit, which was clean but hard, sent Love immediately to the medical tent, raising concerns about his ability to finish the game.<\/p>\n

Fortunately for Green Bay, backup quarterback Malik Willis stepped in and finished off the drive that Love started, capping it with a touchdown. Love was then cleared to return to action, but the shoulder injury lingered, affecting his performance throughout the remainder of the game.<\/p>\n

In his post-game interview, Love provided some clarity on the injury. \u201cWent in, got it evaluated and I figured it was good enough to come back, so I went back in. It was definitely not fun. Small injury, so we\u2019ll re-evaluate it when we get back, look at it, see what\u2019s going on. But it was not fun,\u201d Love said.<\/p>\n

While Love\u2019s condition doesn\u2019t seem to be a major concern at the moment, it will be evaluated further when the team returns to Green Bay. The left shoulder injury was a consistent issue for Love, but he managed to finish the game, completing 13 of 24 passes with no interceptions and a solid passer rating of 105.2.<\/p>\n

Love did admit that he probably should have slid on the play that resulted in the injury, as he usually does to avoid hits. However, he praised Malik Willis for stepping up when needed. Willis, who started two games in 2024 after Love\u2019s knee injury, showed poise under pressure, helping keep the offense moving when it was most needed.<\/p>\n

Head coach Matt LaFleur also offered high praise for Willis\u2019 performance, saying, \u201cI can\u2019t say enough great things about Malik. We don\u2019t win that game without Malik. He\u2019s a great competitor, and he is so calm\u2026 He made a lot of plays in the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the Packers prepare for their Week 12 matchup, the main question remains: How serious is Love\u2019s shoulder injury? While he returned to the field on Sunday, the true extent of the injury will be determined in the coming days, and the Packers\u2019 medical team will likely keep a close eye on Love\u2019s recovery to ensure he\u2019s ready for the next game.<\/p>\n

If Love is unable to play, Malik Willis could once again be called into action to lead the Packers in Week 12. But for now, the team is hopeful that their starting quarterback will be back in time to continue their push for a playoff spot.<\/p>\n

For the\u00a0Packers, the end result of a 27-20 win over the Giants\u2013no matter how unsightly the quality of play\u2013is especially gratifying because of how close the season was to falling apart completely. That\u2019s because, with 3:20 to play in the first quarter of the game, star quarterback\u00a0Jordan Love\u00a0took a particularly hard hit on a short run-scramble.<\/p>\n

The hit came from\u00a0Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles\u00a0after a four-year jaunt, a play on which Love made no attempt to slide. It was a legal whack from Flannigan-Fowles but it was clear from the moment Love went down that he was injured. He scurried to the medical tent on the sideline, replaced by backup\u00a0Malik Willis.<\/p>\n

For coach Matt LaFleur, the good news is that Love is coping well now that the team is back in Green Bay. \u201cHe\u2019s doing good. Obviously, he\u2019s definitely sore,\u201d LaFleur said.<\/p>\n

Seeing Love take that kind of hit in service of a four-yard pickup, though, warranted a stern rebuke from LaFleur.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how the coach saw the play, which was essentially the equivalent of the Packers\u2019 2025 flashing before his eyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, that was a pretty big hit, one of those that you just say, \u2018C\u2019mon, man. You can\u2019t put yourself in those situations,\u2019\u201d LaFleur said with a laugh.<\/p>\n

Love, despite the injury, came back and led the Packers to a gritty victory. \u201cI thought he played his (expletive) off yesterday, I really did,\u201d LaFleur said. \u201cI thought he was throwing accurately. He showed a ton of toughness in the pocket. I mean, there were multiple times he was getting hit pretty good in the pocket and he was making throws.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was really proud of his ability to come back in the game and just show that, not only physical toughness but the mental toughness to keep fighting.\u201d<\/p>\n

The question for LaFleur and other Packers coaches, though, was what the team should\u2013and even could\u2013do to rein in Love in those situations. It was clear that Love thought he had some room to break open a longer run on the play.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s one of those deals where, things happen pretty quickly out there. I think he, as he was scrambling, he did a little pump fake and actually got the guy to leave his feet a little bit,\u201d LaFleur said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know if he thought he is a little more elusive than what he really is, and thought he could get around him or not. Obviously, it didn\u2019t work out. I do think it is a fine line in how you coach a guy in those situations because there is a lot more feel to it, because things happen so quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Love\u2019s place, of course, backup quarterback Malik Willis finished the Packers drive with a touchdown. Willis had not played since Week 3 of the 2024 season, but looked like he had gathered no moss.<\/p>\n

Said LaFleur: \u201cI can\u2019t say enough great things about Malik. We don\u2019t win that game without Malik. He\u2019s a great competitor and he is so calm, I mean, just, he was in there on some critical situations. We had third downs, we called a zone read and he uses his legs, which was kind of\u2014when your starting quarterback is out and you have your backup in there, and you call the zone read, you\u2019re a little concerned about that because you can\u2019t have anything happen to him.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut he made a lot of plays in the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
