Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has had his fair share of success going up against the Chicago Bears, holding a 4-1 record through three years. On Saturday, Love will be looking to lead his team to a sweep of the Bears this season and rip away first place in the NFC North in what will be one of the most critical and entertaining matchups in recent history between the two teams.
One of the biggest reasons for the Bears' success this season has been their defense, a unit that leads the NFL with the most takeaways (30) and interceptions (21) being led by defensive coordinator Dennis Allen. During their very busy and active offseason, Chicago made a big splash on defense by adding veteran Grady Jarrett, who has seen plenty of high-level quarterbacks in his career.
Jarrett played in the infamous 28-3 Super Bowl in which his Atlanta Falcons team collapsed against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, so the veteran defensive tackle knows quarterbacks and he's got some thoughts on Green Bay's Love coming into this weekend's matchup. Jarrett said he wouldn't call Love a cause for concern, but he paid respect to the Packers' quarterback for playing with extreme confidence.

"I wouldn't say cause for concern," Jarrett said. "I think, as far as the respect he deserves as a competitor, he's just getting the ball where he needs it to go, playing with extreme confidence and you can tell just all the years accumulated in that offense and in the league is really coming to life for him. So, definitely a lot of respect for his game, knowing he can get the ball, wherever it needs to go. But cause for concern wouldn't be a term I'll use, I'll say a respect to our opponent and that's well deserved for the work he put in."
While this is the first year for Jarrett in the Bears-Packers rivalry, he's still able to pay respect to Love with the confidence in his team and their defense going up against him. Containing Love will be of the utmost importance for Chicago's defense, after Love threw for three touchdowns against them in their first matchup two weeks ago.
