Jordan Love, Packers Impress NFL Fans by Clinching 2024 Playoff Spot With Bears Win
The Green Bay Packers have the youngest team in the NFL, but that didn’t stop them from earning the final playoff spot in the NFC.
The Packers clinched the No. 7 spot with a 17-9 win over the division-rival Chicago Bears on Sunday, returning to the postseason after falling short in 2022.
Facing a win-and-in situation, Packers quarterback Jordan Love was brilliant in the biggest game of his career, completing 27 of his 32 passes for 316 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions. His lone blemish was a lost fumble in the third quarter. Still, he helped lead Green Bay to a 10th straight win over Chicago.
The Packers ended the regular season with three straight wins, making them one of the hottest teams entering the playoffs this year.
Fans on social media were rightfully impressed by Love and Green Bay as they earned their playoff berth on Sunday:
After trading away Aaron Rodgers over the offseason, the Packers faced questions as to whether Love was the right quarterback to lead them going forward.
While there were some ups and downs throughout the season, Love proved to be a reliable starter who can be one of the cornerstones of the franchise, and he now has led the team to the playoffs.
The Packers will face the second-seeded Dallas Cowboys in the NFC Wild Card Round.
