The Green Bay Packers’ offense has been clicking on all cylinders behind the stellar play of Jordan Love and Aaron Jones. Both players have taken their game to a new level with the playoffs on the line over the last couple of weeks. Heading into a win-and-in situation against the Chicago Bears in Week 18, the Packers are going to need yet another big game from their star offensive duo.
Early on this season, the media was all over Love and were calling for the Packers to move on from their young quarterback already. Clearly, the critics were wrong.
Love has proven himself to be not only the future at quarterback for Green Bay, but a potential superstar. He has come a long way in just one season. The Packers have to be feeling good about the future.
Aaron Jones Doesn’t Hold Back On Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love’s Critics
Coming off of the Packers’ Week 17 blowout win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Night Football, Jones did not hold back from firing off a bold message at all of Love’s haters.
“He shut them up.”

Now, for the final test, Love and Jones need to beat the Packers’ arch-rivals. Losing to the Bears in the final game of the season would be a devastating blow to such a remarkable comeback this season.
There is no question that the Packers are the better team on paper. If they play up to their potential, they should walk away from Week 18 with a playoff berth. However, this is the team that ended up losing to the Detroit Lions in the same situation last season.
Expect to see the Packers come out aggressive this week. Love and Jones are going to be utilized a lot and they need to come through when their team needs them the most.
