Jordan Love’s odds to win the NFL MVP award have dramatically improved, surging after an absolutely massive Sunday afternoon performance. This dude is making a serious case for himself, and the league is definitely noticing.
MVP Race Heating Up
On Sunday, Love dropped four touchdowns and didn’t turn the ball over once. Compare that to Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, who coughed up four turnovers on Sunday night. The difference? Night and day. Love’s performance shot him up the MVP boards. Right now, he’s sitting at +650, which is wild. He’s behind co-favorites Josh Allen and Joe Burrow, both at +230, and Brock Purdy at +450. But Love is ahead of guys like Trevor Lawrence (9-1) and Williams (14-1). This isn’t just a fluke; the players at the top have earned their spots over the course of the season, and Love has been absolutely surging.
Unstoppable Downfield Attack
Love is piling up multiple touchdowns in every single game, putting him second only to Aaron Rodgers in franchise history for the longest streak to start a season. Rodgers went for 15 straight in his 2011 MVP season, so Love is in elite company. He’s not just throwing short stuff either; he’s engineering one of the most downfield passing games you’ll see in the league. Last Sunday, he completed 23 of 29 passes for 372 yards. That’s an insane 12.82 yards per attempt. He is separating himself from the pack, no doubt about it.
Can he keep this momentum going? The next chance to prove it is this coming Sunday, when he goes up against the Minnesota defense. Everyone’s watching to see if this incredible run continues.
