My thoughts from today's Green Bay Packers ' 34-13 win over the Arizona Cardinals . Jordan Love seems to be finding his rhythm. He wasn't 100 percent when the Packers played the Minnesota Vikings and there was still some rust last week, I think. Today, a healthy Love did his damage both with his arm and his legs. The only black mark was the interception, which only happened because Bo Melton slipped while the ball was in the air. He also found a total of nine receivers.

With Love out and the Titans knowing Green Bay was going to rely on the run again, the Packers still managed 115 yards, not counting the 73 Malik Willis picked up with his legs. Once Love is back and defenses need to account for his arm, that run game is only going to get better. Speaking of Will...
