JORDAN LOVE GIVES A HINT ON WHAT PACKERS FANS SHOULD EXPECT IN THE 2024 SUPER BOWL SEASON.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is believing that his team can go all the way.
LOVE’S TENURE IN GREEN BAY
After leading the squad to a 6-2 record in the team’s final eight games, Love guided the Packers to an unexpected 2023 season. The Packers eventually lost to San Francisco in the Divisional Round of the NFC playoffs, but his arm helped propel the team into the competition. Love threw for 4,159 yards and a 64 percent completion percentage at the end of the season. Along with 11 picks, he threw 32 touchdown passes.
“Those what-ifs are no longer present because we are a young team.” Love continued. People are aware of our current mission. Of course, we’ll be carrying that target in our arms. People are motivated to defeat us. We’re starving. I am aware that everyone in the locker room is eager to return and is hungry.
After witnessing what Love could accomplish with a full season of experience, there are definitely high expectations in Green Bay. Due to injuries in the defensive backfield this past season, the Packers were also forced to play with a young secondary, starting two rookies at corner and safety in select games.
This offseason, the Packers took a few actions to strengthen that defense. Safety Xavier McKinney, a former player for the New York Giants, was signed by the team. The Packers acquired Josh Jacobs, a running back, to bolster the offensive line. In his career, Jacobs, a two-time Pro Bowler, has run for over 5,000 yards. After playing for the Las Vegas Raiders since 2019, he now joins the Packers.
Though there is competition for the Packers in their division, the pieces are starting to come together. In 2023, the Detroit Lions defeated the 49ers in the NFC Championship game and went on to win the NFC North. Nor is San Francisco going anywhere. Love asserts that his Packers have the same chance as any other NFC team to win the Super Bowl.
Love continued, “I think winning it is the only way to regain that title, so that’s what we’re planning on doing this year.”
Green Bay had a 9–8 record at the end of the 2023 campaign. Love played collegiate football at Utah State before being selected by the Packers in the first round of the 2020 draft.
