No player has elevated his stature the past few weeks more than Jordan Love.
Back when the Green Bay Packers were 2-5, general manager Brian Gutekunst said it would be "a very important 10 games" for Love, in terms of his standing as the Packers' quarterback of the future. Well, Love responded emphatically in those 10 games. And anyone who hadn't noticed his hot streak to end the regular season took note of his carving up the Dallas Cowboys last week.
This week brings another challenge for Love — or perhaps another opportunity to show the football world how far he has come.
