Green Bay Rolls Past Jacksonville, But Love's Groin Injury Casts a Shadow

The Green Bay Packers cruised to a 24-0 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, but the win was overshadowed by a scary injury to quarterback Jordan Love. Love, who started in place of the injured Aaron Rodgers, left the game in the second quarter with a groin injury and did not return.

The game itself was a pretty uneventful affair. Green Bay's defense was dominant, holding the Jaguars to just 171 total yards and forcing three turnovers. The offense, while not exactly explosive, did enough to secure the win. Running back Aaron Jones led the way with 78 yards on 15 carries and a touchdown.

But all eyes were on Love, who was making just his second start of the season. He looked solid early, completing 6 of his first 9 passes for 53 yards. But then, on a scramble play, he pulled up lame and clutched his groin. He immediately walked to the sidelines and was eventually ruled out for the rest of the game.

The Packers will be holding their breath as they await the results of Love's MRI. With Rodgers still sidelined, the Packers are in a tough spot if Love is forced to miss any time. Their backup options are limited and they face a tough schedule coming up.

The injury to Love is a major blow for the Packers, especially considering their recent struggles with Rodgers out. The win over the Jaguars was a nice boost, but the looming question about Love's health will certainly be a major topic of conversation in Green Bay this week. The Packers need their young quarterback to be healthy, especially if they want to make a run for the playoffs.
