Packernet Podcast: Jordan Love OUT But Our Division Dreams Are Still Alive

Jordan Love is officially OUT for Saturday's showdown against Baltimore, thrusting Malik Willis into the spotlight with the NFC North division title still within reach. With Lamar Jackson also doubtful for the Ravens, this matchup just became a battle of backup quarterbacks—and the Packers hold every advantage at home. This episode delivers a comprehensive breakdown of the Baltimore Ravens, a team having their worst season since 2021. We examine Tyler Huntley's extensive film history (he's 5-12 as Baltimore's fill-in starter), Derek Henry's dramatic statistical decline from his monster 2024 campaign, and why their aging defense—featuring pass rushers who can't rush and corners having career-worst seasons—presents an exploitable matchup for Green Bay. Key discussion points include the strategy debate around resting starters versus competing for the division, the Ravens' rapidly closing championship window with declining stars at multiple positions, and why Kyle Hamilton remains one of the few legitimate threats on their roster. Plus, breaking injury news on Savion Smith and Quay Walker dealing with illness. The Packers are 3.5-point home favorites. This is a winnable game that could set up everything for the final push.
