When asked about the prospect of reaching the playoffs, Love gave a clear response. He said, “That would be huge, that’s exactly what we want and we’re striving for. But you know, it comes down to games like this, finding ways to win the close games, that’s where we got to keep growing and keep get better at but found a way today.” He emphasized the need for the team to excel in close games as a crucial area for continued improvement.

The interview, imbued with a festive atmosphere, concluded with mutual Christmas greetings. Not to mention, Love’s post-game reflections on the team’s resilience and playoff ambitions were almost not happening due to a coin-toss blunder at the beginning of the match.

Alexander’s choice almost cost the Packers a key game

After winning the toss, he initially opted for defense. This choice could have given the Panthers the ball in both halves. However, the situation was averted, thanks to referee Alex Kemp’s clarification, possibly prompted by Coach Matt LaFleur’s pregame instructions. LaFleur was concerned about clear communication as he recalled a previous similar incident.

He emphasized the importance of specifying to defer, especially with Alexander back on the field after missing six games with a shoulder injury. Well, despite the mix-up, it’s good that the team managed to land a crucial win. Do you think the team will get into the playoffs? What are your predictions??
