Green Bay Packers coaches have been "blown away" by the ability of backup quarterback Malik Willis to step in for injured starter Jordan Love, ESPN's Dan Graziano reported.

When a groin injury forced Love to leave Sunday's road game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the second half, Willis stepped in and connected on four of five pass attempts for 56 yards. He then led the Packers on a last-minute field goal drive to seal the 30-27 win.

Willis previously went 2-0 while filling in for Love while he dealt with a knee injury earlier this season.
