The Green Bay Packers crushed the New England Patriots 45–27, Jordan Love is collecting MVP attention, and Kirk Cousins is back to complicate everybody’s weekend. In “Packers Crush Patriots: Love Is in the Air, Kirk Is in the Way,” Cheesehead Radio #397 celebrates a convincing victory before turning toward a massive Packers vs. Vikings rematch at Lambeau Field.

C.D. Angeli, Jersey Al Bracco and Kelly Hodgson unpack Love’s 372 passing yards and four total touchdowns, Christian Watson and Matthew Golden torching New England’s secondary, and Jonathan Gannon’s defense making takeaways look considerably less accidental. Trey Smack made every kick. The penalties mostly disappeared. We checked: this was still the Packers.

Naturally, a 6–3 record leaves Green Bay in last place in the NFC North, because apparently competent football now requires a waiting list. The crew debates Love’s growing MVP case, how much credit belongs to Matt LaFleur and Brian Gutekunst, and whether Minnesota’s Cousins reunion deserves laughter, concern or both.

Kelly navigates the injury report, including Josh Jacobs, Micah Parsons and an offensive line still searching for its healthiest—and best—combination. Our Vikings preview focuses on protecting Love, converting third downs and keeping Cousins from getting comfortable finding Justin Jefferson.

Then come the Hot Pockets: Al questions whether the deep-ball fireworks are sustainable, C.D. asks Packers fans to keep Lambeau from becoming a purple timeshare, and Kelly demands Green Bay finish what it couldn’t in September.

Big throws. Bigger stakes. And predictions that include C.D. apparently inventing fractional scoring.
