If you are a sports fan who believes in blessings and curses … or the inevitability of history repeating itself … or in the track records of smart organizations … then you should not be surprised Jordan Love is reshaping the narrative around the blockbuster Aaron Rodgers trade.

Everyone else should be. Especially if you saw Love and the Packers struggle through October.

Love is tied with the Cowboys’ Dak Prescott for the second-highest quarterback rating in the NFL over the past three weeks (116.9), trailing only the 49ers’ Brock Purdy. Prescott and Purdy are MVP front-runners, but the first-year starter Love owns back-to-back three-touchdown, no-interception winning performances over division leaders (Lions and Chiefs), which has positioned the Packers as the NFC’s unlikely final playoff team entering Week 14.

“Six or seven weeks ago, I was like, ‘Damn, I don’t know if he’s going to be able to do this. It doesn’t look good.’ The training wheels were on the offense,’” NBC Sports NFL analyst and retired quarterback Chris Simms told Post Sports+, “But he’s really turned a corner to where I go, ‘They’ve got their guy. This is real. This isn’t just some three-game fantasy.’ I think we’ll see better and better from Jordan Love.”
