Jordan Love was handed the keys to the Green Bay Packers last season and the young quarterback did not disappoint, leading the NFC North franchise to the playoffs
Green Bay Packers’ quarterback Jordan Love is confident that the team can win the Super Bowl in 2024 after a fantastic first season as the main man in Wisconsin.
After Aaron Rodgers moved to the New York Jets last season, Love took over the reins at the Packers and certainly lived up to expectations. During the regular season, Love threw for 4,159 yards and 32 touchdowns, leading Green Bay to a 9-8 record – and a spot in the playoffs.
In the wild card round, Love put on an amazing performance, helping the Packers to a surprise away win over the Dallas Cowboys. The Packers nearly beat the San Francisco 49ers to secure a place in the NFC Championship Game, but fell just short – however, fans are buzzing for the Love era.
The 25 year old turned around the 6-8 record with three straight wins at the end, and his ability to play his best when it matters most is truly impressive. As a result, Love is not holding back his hopes for 2024 – he believes the Packers can compete and win the Super Bowl.
“It’s a great feeling, man,” Love said during an appearance on ‘The Pivot Podcast’. “We’re all very hungry for this upcoming year. Like you said, the confidence from top to bottom is there.
“The organisation believes that it’s the perfect time to have a chance to win a Super Bowl this year. Those conversations we had after that 49ers game were ‘Work harder, try and find ways to get better, because next year we’re gonna do it,’ There’s no more ‘we’re a young team,’ there’s no more of those what ifs. People know what we’re about now. Obviously, we’ll have that target on our back now, people are gonna want to beat us. We’re hungry.”

With Super Bowl dreams growing, the Packers quickly added quality to their team in free agency. Green Bay signed 2021 rushing champion Josh Jacobs to a four-year deal worth $48 million, before moving for former New York Giants safety Xavier McKinney.
Love added: “I know everybody in that locker room is hungry and ready to get back. And obviously, we added some key pieces with Josh Jacobs and Xavier McKinney. So I’m excited.”
“We’re going to have some more pieces coming in with the draft, but I’m excited for me to be able to take that next step. Year 2. For a lot of the receivers, those rookies we had last year to take that step in Year 2.”
