00:00All right, let's take a look at some of the highlights.

00:03They're now kind of sticking with the quarterback conversation.

00:05Jordan. Love was good to go.

00:06We saw the Packers take on the Lions.

00:08Let's start getting into some previewing of what we saw on this Sunday slate.

00:12What did you make of the Packers versus Lions game?

00:16A lot of rain, which was certainly on the halftime show for that.

00:22I do a 230 right here on sports grid.

00:24I spoke about the rain was going to be factor.

00:26I said, we should take all three running backs in this game.

00:28Montgomery Gibbs and Josh Jacobs, all three of them in the same game.

00:32Parlay all 50 plus rushing yards because I was expecting that to be the case

00:37and that was up in a plus 250 and that did come through.

00:39So I do want to take a little bit of a victory lap on that.

00:41We did see a very modest game from Jared Doff.

00:43Overall only 145 passing yards a because of the weather,

00:47but be we do know that golf generally does struggle outside.

00:50Now, I'm going to say that it was a very modest game.

00:51He was 18 of 22, which is incredibly efficient,

00:55which has kind of been his calling card all year.

00:56We're starting these games off like 12 of 12, 13 of 15,

01:00just moving the ball, moving the ball and they are so, so safe with the ball.

01:03So what the Lions have is obviously fantastic.

01:06Love looked okay.

01:07Now, I want to put this like in context.

01:09A, he's coming off this groin injury.

01:11So he was clearly not moving around well.

01:14B, we have the weather to deal with and then C,

01:17like some of his receivers were dropping passes because of this weather.

01:20So he could have looked, his stat line could have looked a lot better.

01:24I think Jacobs was fine, 13 of 95 on the ground.

01:26Obviously, the lack of scoring from Packers overall,

01:29but I think the Packers again will be okay.

01:32As we continue to see Jordan Love dealt with this knee injury,

01:36game one when they were in Brazil against the Eagles and now a groin injury.

01:39We're playing a dangerous game here because this offense is built around Love

01:43being able to, you know, have all these options around him.

01:46If he's not at 100%, you know, what are we even getting from them?

01:49When they have one of the, a tough schedule in the toughest division,

01:52it is getting to a spot where we need to know if Love's actually going to be healthy

01:56because I have a ton of faith in their offense overall,

01:58but if he's not good to go, that is a completely different story.
