Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love threw for 367 yards and two touchdowns in a 31-7 win over Chicago on Sunday, setting a Packers record for passing yards in a game against the Bears in Lambeau Field. Love also delivered the aggressive passing performance head coach Matt LaFleur had been seeking. Love completed 25 of 31 passes, and the victory moved Green Bay to 3-2 while securing a critical early division result.

Locked On Packers host Peter Bukowski said LaFleur’s early-down play-action calls gave the offense its clearest identity of the season. Bukowski pointed to the willingness to keep pushing the ball downfield rather than relying on a dominant rushing performance, calling it the version of the attack Green Bay has needed to show.
Wide receivers Christian Watson and Matthew Golden supplied the biggest plays. Watson caught six passes for 143 yards and two touchdowns, including scoring grabs of 42 and 53 yards. Golden added six catches for 123 yards, while tight end Tucker Kraft turned a short throw into a 46-yard gain. The three players repeatedly gave Love deep options and forced Chicago’s defense to defend the entire field.
Running back MarShawn Lloyd also scored his first two NFL rushing touchdowns. Bukowski’s point was not that the ground game carried the afternoon, but that it did enough to preserve play-action looks and let Love attack when coverage opened downfield.
The showing matters because it gave Green Bay a formula that does not depend on one receiver or a high-volume rushing day. With Watson, Golden, and Kraft creating explosive plays from different alignments, Love can operate an offense that stays aggressive without becoming predictable.
