Love completed 32 of 54 passes for 389 yards with four touchdowns and three interceptions and added one rush for six yards in the Packers' 31-29 loss to the Vikings on Sunday. He also threw a two-point conversion pass.

Love's completion percentage in his return from a two-game absence due to a knee injury ultimately left much to be desired, but the second-half surge he led for the Packers propped up his passing yardage and touchdown numbers significantly. Down 28-7 entering the second half, he couldn't get Green Bay moving much over the first three possessions of the third quarter, but he subsequently helmed a trio of touchdown drives that included a 96-yard march that featured 63 yards' worth of completions to Jayden Reed. Love threw his final scoring toss of the day, a 17-yarder to Dontayvion Wicks, to cap off the drive with 56 seconds remaining, but he was never able to get the ball back. Love seemed to shake off rust as the game went on and said after the game his previously injured knee felt fine, per Zachary Jacobson of 247Sports. Therefore, Love could be ready to put together a much more complete performance in a Week 5 road matchup against the Rams next Sunday.
