Jordan Love is on the rise, and Packers fans are starting to feel the love—pun intended. The young QB has been stepping up, showing some serious poise in recent games as he tries to fill the massive Aaron Rodgers-sized shoes left behind. Love’s performance this season was nothing short of impressive, with 2,724 yards, 21 touchdowns and cool-as-ice decision-making that screamed, ‘I’m the guy!’ But amidst all the hype, Love dropped a hilarious confession that’s bound to make waves in Packer Nation.
In a recent interview, Love owned up to something every die-hard Packers fan might relate to. The QB openly admitted to mocking one of the most infamous moments in Packers history—the Fail Mary against the Seattle Seahawks when he was a kid. “Yeah, I was watching the game, I remember um seeing I think I actually posted some like when I was young on my Instagram, uh I deleted it now but yeah,” he admitted, referring to the infamous Fail Mary game against the Seahawks.
Yep, little Jordan Love was out there mocking the Packers on Instagram! Don’t worry, he’s grown up since then. But let’s be honest—it’s kind of hilarious imagining him roasting a national team as a kid.

But Love didn’t just stop at reminiscing about childhood antics. He also talked about the current struggles the Packers are facing. “It’s been tough not having Luke out there,” he said, throwing a shout-out to his missing teammate. “So to get him back healthy and on the field will be big time.” Between injuries and tough matchups, it hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing for the Packers. But if you are a fan of the Packers after 2012, you might wonder, what’s this Fail Mary? Don’t be so quick to google it. We got you covered.

The infamous ‘Fail Mary’
If you were a Packers fan before 2012, you’re probably rolling your eyes just hearing those words. And for our after-2012 fans, here you go—Back in 2012, the Seahawks “won” a game thanks to one of the replacement refs (yikes!) who awarded a highly questionable touchdown to the Seahawks in the final seconds, and Packers fans are still salty about it. It became one of the most controversial calls in the NFL history. Even Jordan Love, who was just a kid at the time, remembers the chaos. On the topic of being a kid, Jordan Love’s fiancé Ronika Stone did clear some rumors around them some time ago.
Speaking of the Seahawks, Love had nothing but respect for their defense going into their next matchup. “They’re a really good defense um you know I haven’t you know watched some of their games to be able to see their offense, but their defense is definitely I think it’s one of the top in the league,” Jordan Love said in interview. Love knows it’s not going to be a cakewalk, but he’s ready to face the challenge head-on.
