Don't let the stat line fool you: QB Jordan Love had just about as good a game as I've ever seen from him, and it came in spite of the offensive line actively trying to get him killed. In the first quarter, he threw the longest TD pass of his career, an 81 yard bomb to Christian Watson.

Positive signalProjection

Love's 387 yards, 2 TDs despite O-line chaos; Ford: 'as good as I've ever seen.'

Despite a 21-of-42, 387-yard, 2 TD, 1 INT stat line with 2 fumbles and 4 sacks, Jonathan Ford assesses Love's performance as exceptional given the offensive line collapse. Love threw an 81-yard TD to Watson, a 30-yarder to Tucker Kraft, a 44-yard bomb to Jonnu Smith, and a 42-yard play to Matthew Golden, all while being forced to get the ball out quickly and taking hits. Ford emphasizes Love's performance would have been elite without the offensive line deterioration.
