Jordan Love Has Already Cemented Himself In Packers History

Green Bay Packers Jordan Love Has Already Cemented Himself In Packers History Photo Credit: David Butler II-Imagn Images By Matt Hendershott - November 10, 2026 In a game where he played transcendent, MVP-level football , Jordan Love cemented his place in Green Bay Packers history. With 8:03 left in the first quarter, Love connected with wide receiver Matthew Golden on a five-yard pass for his 100th passing touchdown. With that milestone, Love becomes just the fifth Packers quarterback to hit that landmark, joining Aaron Rodgers , Brett Favre , Bart Starr , and Lynn Dickey . Jordan Love has thrown his 100th passing TD as a Packer. He becomes the fifth quarterback in Packers franchise history with at least 100 regular season TD passes, joining Aaron Rodgers (475), Brett Favre (442), Bart Starr (152), and Lynn Dickey (133). — Wendell Ferreira (@wendellfp) November 8, 2026 Considering two of those are Hall of Famers, one will be when his playing career ends, and the final being the best quarterback during the franchise’s rough stretch, that’s an elite group. Love’s performance at Foxborough was so complete that this benchmark is just one of many highlights of the day. But it cements Love in Packers history and might be a jumping-off point for another legendary Green Bay quarterbacking career. The touchdown itself was actually Love’s second of the day. With Drake Maye cleanly throwing his first pass of the day right to safety Xavier McKinney (the first of two for three on the day), the Packers had a short field for their first offensive drive. Jordan Love capped off the short play by using his legs, starting the day with a 13-yard rushing touchdown.

Love and Matthew Golden connected three times, and most of the damage came through that duo. The first was a 16-yard pass over Christian Gonzalez , one of the league’s best corners. Gonzalez looked like a neophyte against Love, Golden, and Christian Watson during New England’s long day. The second was a beautiful deep pass to their right for 49 yards. Golden has struggled with drops this season. Still, he was flawless on Love’s first deep ball of the day, moving the chains to New England’s 18-yard line. After a few runs and a pass interference, Green Bay was five yards from glory when Love went to Golden again on third-and-goal, hit the second-year receiver over the middle, and made history. The Packers went up 14-0, and Love had his 100th touchdown pass.

Cue up Golden from KPop Demon Hunters to set the mood. The answer to the trivia question of who caught Jordan Love's 100th TD pass will forever be Matthew Golden! — Andy Herman (@AndyHermanNFL) November 8, 2026 The rest of Love’s day was no less historic, and the 45-27 victory wasn’t even as close as the final score would suggest. Those 45 points were the most given up at Foxborough in New England Patriots history, and they came against Matt LaFleur’s former boss, Mike Vrabel . Love completed 23 of his 29 passes for 372 yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions, and a 153.2 passer rating—a season high. He also added 13 yards and a touchdown on the early TD run. This wasn’t beating up on a bad defense, either. While Drake Maye and New England’s offense are wildly variable based on the quality of opposing defenses, the defense has been stout . Gonzalez is one of the best cornerbacks in the league, but Love torched him. The former All-Pro gave up 187 yards while covering Golden and Watson. On passes over 20 yards, Love put up 235 yards with lightning accuracy. Pressure didn’t help the Patriots; Love was 11 for 11, 170 yards, and a TD when blitzed. (He also got me 42.18 fantasy points, and it was also my birthday, so it was a nice treat.) Love’s day was so dominant that the Packers rested their starters with about nine minutes left in the game. Jordan Love said "it's definitely up there" when asked if tonight was his best performance of his career. "It felt great," Love said. "We'll look at it, but it felt like just a real fun game to be a part of. Everything was flowing, we're putting up points; it was definitely fun… — Zach Jacobson (@zachjacobson) November 9, 2026 Not only did Love’s 100th TD create a new trivia question, but it was an early part of one of Love’s best performances of his career. On December 3, 1995, Brett Favre threw a screen pass to running back (and later Green Bay offensive coordinator) Edgar Bennett for his 100th pass. Favre won his first MVP award that season. Aaron Rodgers completed his 100th touchdown pass on October 9, 2011, a big completion to James Jones over the Atlanta Falcons. Rodgers went on to win his first MVP award that season. Can history repeat itself? It’s always unfair to hold Love to the standards of his predecessors. He’s his own man, and the expectation to follow the same career path as Favre and Rodgers often sets up failure. And yet… Love is playing MVP-level football. With a tumultuous offensive line and the worst rushing attack in the NFL, Love is putting the “valuable” in Most Valuable Player. He’s leading the NFL in yardage, which is noteworthy since volume stats were a concern for some. He’s playing arrogant football with arguably the best deep ball in the league, and his ability to thrive under constant pressure is wild. If you look at MVP betting odds, Love is tied for fourth . With Toyotathon in full swing, more of this level of play will strengthen Love’s MVP case. Regardless of whether or not the league agrees, Jordan Love put on a show at a tough opposing stadium while making Packers history. That 100th touchdown pass looked like just an early highlight of a celebrated career still to come. Matt Hendershott All Articles
