One week ago in Brazil, the Green Bay Packers did not get off to the start they wanted when they fell to the Philadelphia Eagles, 34-29. But then, the trip back to Lambeau Field got far more difficult and far more uncertain.
The Packers play their home opener this weekend against the Indianapolis Colts, but there's a strong possibility that they could be doing so without quarterback Jordan Love, who suffered a knee injury in the final seconds of their Week 1 loss. Although Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has seemingly left the door open for Love to play, there is nonetheless a strong chance that Love's injury forces him to miss time, which would put new backup Malik Willis under center for Green Bay and could serve as a major blow to their hopes in the NFC North.
Whatever happens at quarterback for the Packers, they'll have all they can handle against an Anthony Richardson-led Colts team coming off of a narrow 29-27 loss to the Houston Texans. Richardson in particular was spectacular, as he threw for 212 and two touchdowns while also going for a rushing touchdown and leading an offense that earned seven yards per play.
