Jordan Love has arguably been one of the biggest overachievers of the 2023 season.

When the Green Bay Packers anointed him the successor to Aaron Rodgers, expectations were low. He had a very young squad around him, and the team's divisional rivals were thought to be too much for them to overcome, as evidenced by their 3-6 start.

Something magical happened, though. The Packers went 6-2 and used superior quotient to sneak themselves into the playoffs as the seventh seed.

They shocked fans by leading big at former coach Mike McCarthy's Dallas Cowboys en route a 48-32 win, leading many to believe that a Cinderella run was on the way.

Unfortunately, it ended on Saturday night in a 24-21 Divisional Round loss to the top-seeded San Francisco 49ers. Love was picked off twice by linebacker Dre Greenlaw, including this game-clincher with under a minute left:

Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy could not hide his dismay after the game:

"I retract everything I said about Jordan Love. He puked all over himself down the stretch. Total choke job"

What did Jordan Love say after Packers’ Divisional Round loss at 49ers?

A game-ending interception is obviously not how Jordan Love wanted to end his first full season as the Green Bay Packers’ starter.

When he turned up for the post-game press conference, he looked rather dejected, describing the play as follows as soon as it began:

“(The) play broke down, was scrambling. I saw Christian (Watson) over the middle and tried forcing one into him. Thought I could make the play, didn’t see the backside.”

Overall, when asked about his breakout performance, he said going out the way he did was hard to digest:

“It’s tough. Like you said, (we) had an opportunity to win that game and didn;t capitalize on it… It’ll sting for a while.”

Love ends his 2023-24 campaign having thrown for a total of 5,231 yards and 40 touchdowns against 16 interceptions in 19 games across the regular season and playoffs.
