Jordan Love passes Brett Favre for multi-touchdown games to start season
ProFootballTalk notes Jordan Love has passed Brett Favre for the most multi-touchdown games to open a Packers season. Green Bay hosts Carolina as 3.5-point favorites in a 47.5-point total.
The Packers have had three starting quarterbacks since Brett Favre replaced Don Majkowski in Week 3 of the 1992 season.
Sharp take
Sharp SixStartRight · +4.0 over the lineA franchise record is a trivia item, not a projection. The part that matters is 24.0 and 20.7 FFPC points in his last two weeks, with a 47.5 total and a home favorite tag against Carolina this week. He is rostered in 99.5% of leagues, so this is purely a start decision, and it is an easy one. Start him. If you have a top-five quarterback instead, the record stays in the record book where it belongs.
