INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Jordan Love grew up two hours north of Los Angeles in Bakersfield. He moved out of California for college in 2016, the same year the Rams brought the NFL back to LA after a 21-year absence.
Love gets the closest thing he'll probably have to an NFL homecoming game Sunday when his Green Bay Packers (2-2) visit the Rams (1-3) — whose struggling defense has made every opposing quarterback feel right at home this season.
“It’ll be fun,” Love said. “I’m excited about it. My first time playing at SoFi, so I’m excited to go back home, and (it's) obviously the closest game to back home in Bakersfield, so … I have a lot of family that lives there, and I’m excited to play in front of them.
