Jordan Love got his chance at facing his former teammate and Green Bay Packers legendary quarterback Aaron Rodgers last Sunday, with the Pittsburgh Steelers hosting the NFC North club at Acrisure Stadium.
Emotions were high among fans for the game, considering that it involves Rodgers, who spent nearly two decades in a Packers uniform before moving on to the New York Jets and the Steelers.
When it was all said and done on the field, it was Love and the Packers who came up with the win. Love passed for 360 yards and three touchdowns, as Green Bay scored a 35-25 victory. He had a much better performance than Rodgers, who threw for 219 yards and two touchdowns.

The postgame meeting between Love and Rodgers had everyone’s eyes on it. A video of the short encounter captured what was said during the moment.
It was all love from both quarterbacks, with Love also making sure to tell Rodgers he wanted the Steelers signal-caller’s jersey.

Meanwhile, fans have wholesome reactions to the quarterbacks’ brief conversation.
“Until they meet in the playoffs… then it’s personal again,” said a fan on X.
Another one said: “What other team has been so lucky to have 3 great future HOFers, Back to back to back?”
From a commenter: “Crazy how the “student vs master” storyline turned into a real bond, love it.”
“Wish they did a jersey swap and pictures after the game, that pic would’ve fed families for years,” a social media user posted.
Via a different commenter: “Feels like a true passing the torch moment”
Said another: “I wish Rodgers had this same relationship with Farve 😭”
Love and the Packers will look to sustain their momentum and extend their win streak to four games when they lock horns with the Carolina Panthers at Lambeau Field in Week 9.
