Green Bay's Jordan Love and San Francisco's Brock Purdy both have had interesting career journeys. Now the young quarterbacks will go head-to-head into the NFL playoffs.

Purdy is one of the best underdog stories in recent history. The last pick in the 2022 draft, Mr. Irrelevant has led the 49ers to the No. 1 seed in the NFC in his sophomore season.

Love went 26th overall in the 2020 NFL draft but bided his time behind former Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers to start his career. But Love stepped in as the starting quarterback in 2023 and led his team to a wild-card win against the Cowboys last week.

Here's what Love and Purdy bring to the table ahead of their divisional clash at 8:15 p.m. ET Saturday on Fox.

Here's a look at how Purdy has performed through the 2023 season.

Jordan Love 2023 stats

After standing in Rodgers' shadow, Love has handled the transition to the spotlight with ease.

His stats exploded in the back half of the 2023 season. Over the last 8 games of the regular season, the 25-year-old passed for 2,150 yards, 18 touchdowns and just one interception while completing 70.25% of his passes. The Packers went 6-2 over that span, including wins in their final three games to clinch a playoff berth.
