Green Bay, Wisconsin – After a 28-21 win over the Chicago Bears that kept Green Bay atop the NFC North, Jordan Love didn’t just strengthen his MVP case, he forced the entire NFL to take notice. But the biggest boost came from the most unexpected voice: Tom Brady. The seven-time Super Bowl champion broke his usual silence to shower Love with praise, and the message instantly sent Packers Nation into a frenzy.
Brady, who rarely hands out high praise to young quarterbacks, went all-in this time. “He’s controlling games with the calmness of a true killer. If Love keeps playing like this, MVP isn’t a possibility; it’s an inevitability that’s getting closer every week. He’s playing the kind of football that makes the entire league nervous,” Brady said. A statement that carries massive weight when it comes from the greatest to ever do it.
The timing couldn’t be better: Love currently leads the NFL in EPA per dropback over the last four weeks, has been nearly mistake-free, and keeps bouncing back stronger after every hit. The tight-window throws, the drive-saving darts in clutch moments; everything is elevating him into the elite QB conversation alongside Mahomes, Allen, and Stafford. For the first time, Packers fans feel an MVP trophy isn’t a dream; it feels real.
But what gave every Packers fan goosebumps was Jordan Love’s incredibly mature response. When asked about Brady’s praise and the MVP race, Love just smiled and said: “I appreciate everything, especially coming from a legend like Tom. But my goal is to help the Packers win every single week. MVP? If it comes, it’s just a small bonus. My entire focus is on this team and the road ahead.” Pure class from a 27-year-old quarterback.
Green Bay now faces its toughest test yet, a Broncos defense that leads the NFL in sack rate and explosive-pass defense. But with this kind of form and this kind of unshakable mindset, Jordan Love is proving he’s the leader the Packers have been waiting for. And if he keeps writing his story at this pace, Tom Brady might be proven exactly right; the 2025 MVP race is about to get very, very interesting.
