Green Bay Packers fans might have thought that their team’s season was over after quarterback Jordan Love left Week One’s eventual loss to the Philadelphia Eagles with what appeared to be a significant leg injury.

With the way Matt LaFleur can coach the quarterback position and with the way this team can rally around one another, even when their most important player might be down, they are still in a really good position when it comes to this season’s hopes.
