The Green Bay Packers have had to call on backup quarterback Malik Willis more than they hoped or envisioned when acquiring him last offseason. However, he's answered the bell and then some when asked to step in for franchise centerpiece Jordan Love.
Willis was thrust into action again in the Packers' crushing meltdown loss to the Chicago Bears after Love exited with a concussion. As usual, the former filled in admirably despite falling short, even earning the respect of NFL royalty and FOX Sports announcer Tom Brady. There's no controversy about whose team this is, though Green Bay has a luxury that other clubs don't: a reliable No.
