Quick reaction: Packers QB Jordan Prem is showing 'superpowers' that can't be taught

That trait was also evident last week, when after an up-for-grabs interception in the fourth quarter against the Vikings hurt the Packers' hopes of a comeback, he still led a 90-plus-yard drive for a touchdown in the final. Chance of an onside kick.

It didn't work in that instance, but she didn't let the love mistake bother her.

“You have to take it one play at a time,” Love said. “That's the mentality. The guys on the other team are pretty good, too. Everybody gets paid.

“The mentality is when a bad play can happen, a negative play can happen, how do you respond and move forward?”

Unfortunately, if he could pick one game in his career he really wanted to respond to but couldn't, it was the late interception at San Francisco in the playoffs last January. There was no chance of atonement.

But the resilience Love shows is embodied in the Packers he leads. Maybe its foundation is a chicken-or-egg question team-wide, but it's both at quarterback and in the locker room.

“There's definitely a toughness,” Love said. “That's our mentality. Keep fighting. It's a four-quarter game. It's not going to be perfect, never going to be perfect. The game is going to have adversity.

“We've proven we're going to keep fighting, just keep going and keep believing in the boys.”

While that quality will serve Love and the Packers well in this topsy-turvy league, they're not overlooking the work Green Bay needs to do to smooth out its game.

Penalties and dropped passes tend to stifle drives for an offense as explosive as any in the NFL. Jayden Reed had a great 53-yard catch to set up an early touchdown, and Tucker Craft's first of two TDs covered 66 yards.

But those 119 passing yards accounted for more than half of Gaines' 224 on the day. The Packers know that won't always cut it.

“We give up a lot of plays out there, and we also make a lot of really good plays,” Love said. “It comes down to consistency, playing clean and executing for four quarters.”

That seems to be coming, not yet. LaFleur admits he “always hunts” explosive plays, and the Packers have made money, but other drives that don't involve them need to be more consistently productive.

“I was talking to Jordan about it in the locker room — it feels like we're a little bit feast or famine offensively.

“We need to get a little more consistency.”

In the meantime, the ability to bounce back and fight back from whatever goes wrong could help the Packers get there.
