Jordan Love shone as the Green Bay Packers routed the New Orleans Saints 34-0 to secure their spot in the NFL play-offs, marking the team’s fifth play-off appearance in six seasons.
The 26-year-old quarterback threw for 182 yards and a touchdown, while the Packers delivered their first shutout of the season and ninth win in their last 11 games. Love emphasized the team’s ultimate goal, saying, “The goal is the Super Bowl.
That’s the first step right there making the play-offs.” With a commanding 37 minutes of possession and 404 total yards compared to the Saints’ 196, the Packers improved to 11-4. Meanwhile, the Saints, now 5-10, remain out of contention.
Green Bay joins the Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, and Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC play-offs, continuing their quest for a first Super Bowl appearance since 2011.
