Jeremiyah Love absolutely went off against the San Francisco 49ers this past Sunday, clocking a season-high 90 rushing yards, adding 19 receiving yards, and even hauling in a touchdown catch. We’re talking Week Three of the young NFL season here, and this dude just put up his best game yet, earning a whopping 76.0 single-game grade from Pro Football Focus. That’s a massive jump, considering his previous high was a 60.6 all the way back in the season opener against the Chargers.
The Kid Was a Problem All Game for San Fran
Love wasn’t just in for a few plays, either. He played a season-high 55 snaps against the Niners, and you could see why. Every time he touched the ball, it felt like something big could happen. Those 90 rushing yards and that touchdown catch weren’t flukes; they were the result of a player being fully unleashed. And getting those numbers against a “good defensive team” like the 49ers? That’s not just a positive sign; it’s a statement. It tells you Love can hang with the best of them, and frankly, it makes his future in the NFC West, and the entire league, look incredibly bright. This isn’t some padded stat line against a cupcake defense; this was against a divisional rival known for making life hell for opposing offenses.
Arizona’s Top Rookie Is Earning His Keep
This kid is the Cardinals’ top rookie, and he just had his best game of the year. The team couldn’t quite chase down the Niners on the road in Santa Clara, but Love’s performance was a massive silver lining. When a player, especially a rookie, steps up like that against a top-tier defense, it changes things. The word from down south is that the Cardinals could be “leaning on him more going forward,” and honestly, after that show in Week Three, why wouldn’t they? You’ve got to feed the hot hand, right? Love clearly has the potential to be a game-changer.
This is exactly the kind of early season pop that gets fans hyped. You gotta wonder how the rest of the NFC West is feeling after seeing Love explode like that. This isn’t just a flash in the pan; it’s a sign of what could be a serious threat emerging in our division. Keep your eyes on this guy because if he keeps playing like this, he’s going to be a problem for everyone.
