Jordan Love is making Thanksgiving football his personal showcase.
The Green Bay Packers quarterback has been nominated for the FedEx Air & Ground Player of the Week following a standout performance in the team’s statement win over the Detroit Lions. Not only did the Packers pull off one of their most complete victories of the season, but they also completed a season sweep of the Lions - something they hadn’t done since 2020.
Love was locked in from the jump. He completed 18 of 30 passes for 234 yards, tossed four touchdowns, and didn’t turn the ball over once.
That four-touchdown mark ties his career high, and it wasn’t just the stat line that stood out - it was the timing and poise behind the throws. One of the biggest came late in the fourth quarter, when Love connected with rookie wideout Dontayvion Wicks on a clutch fourth-down pass that effectively sealed the win.
That’s the kind of throw that doesn’t just show arm talent - it shows trust, confidence, and command of the moment.
And when it comes to Thanksgiving, Love is building a tradition of excellence. According to Packers.com’s Wes Hodkiewicz, Love is now the only quarterback in NFL history to post a passer rating over 120 in three separate Thanksgiving games.
That’s not a typo - it’s a historic run. Since becoming the Packers’ starter, Love has played on Thanksgiving every year, and he’s delivered every time.
His lowest passer rating in those games? A scorching 124.2.
This year’s win over Detroit adds to a growing list of Thanksgiving triumphs. In 2023, Love and the Packers also beat the Lions in Detroit.
The year before that, he led Green Bay to a win over the Dolphins on Thanksgiving at Lambeau Field. Three years, three wins, and three lights-out performances.
That’s not just consistency - that’s dominance on one of the NFL’s biggest stages.
Fans now have the chance to recognize Love’s latest effort by voting for him in the Week 13 FedEx Air & Ground Player of the Week poll. It wouldn’t be his first time taking home the honor - he previously earned the award after his Week 8 performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers, when he threw for 360 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions under the Sunday night lights.
Jordan Love’s development has been one of the most compelling storylines in Green Bay this season. And if his Thanksgiving track record is any indication, the Packers may have found a quarterback who doesn’t just handle the spotlight - he thrives in it.
