In what was supposed to be a rebuilding year resulted in a surprising playoff berth for the Green Bay Packers.
Less than one year removed from trading away franchise icon Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets, the Packers find themselves back in the postseason where they’ll take on the Dallas Cowboys in the Wild Card round.
Jordan Love finished the 2023 NFL regular season on a high note as he led the Packers to a win over the Chicago Bears and punched their ticket to the playoffs.
There was some skepticism that Love would ever be able to replace Rodgers, but he proved any doubters wrong with his strong play.
Love flashed some of his raw talent the past few years, but he made the most of the opportunity as a full-time starter and is giving fans hope that he can be their quarterback for the long haul.
Love’s also won over his teammates like Aaron Jones who believe the signal caller is ready for the big moments via the Up & Adams Show.
“This guy is a gamer…a GAMER,” Jones said.

During the regular season, Love was able to calmly lead the offense even during times of adversity.
His poise and maturity for his age is impressive and it’s likely a reason why players like Jones trust him to perform when it matters most.
With Love ahead of schedule, the Packers could be regulars in the postseason for the foreseeable future.
Although they’re considered underdogs this weekend, Green Bay and Love might be able to give Dallas a run for its money.
