In the latest X post by analyst Skip Bayless, he couldn’t stop praising Jordan Love for his incredible performance today on the gridiron. Moreover, he boldly appreciated the team for bringing replacing Aaron Rodgers with Jordan Love, when they decided to switch. The analyst wrote, “The Packers sure made the right decision to dump Aaron Rodgers for Jordan Love, who has some Jordan in him, as in MJ.”
Undoubtedly, the 25-year-old QB performed exceptionally on the field. Alongside the great stats backing his skills, the three touchdowns also vouch for the caliber the football player holds. Thus, it was only natural for the 72-year-old sports columnist to describe Jordan’s prowess by mentioning the NBA legend Michael Jordan—a legacy with top-notch performance in the sports realm.
Concerning the decision to give the baton to Jordan following the Aaron Rodgers’ phase of the Packers, it is salient to note that Love inscribed his name in NFL history as he recorded an almost-perfect passer rating of 157.2 on his postseason debut. In fact, he concluded the season second in touchdown passes and now, boasts a 1-0 playoff record.
