Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur was hyped up about his team’s dominant 48–32 win over the Dallas Cowboys in the wild-card round on Sunday, and he couldn’t help but express his gratitude for quarterback Jordan Love.
When leaving AT&T Stadium after the win, LaFleur told Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer that Love was a “F---ing stud.”
LaFleur didn’t stop there when giving Love, a first-year starter, some high praise when talking about him to Breer on Sunday.
“He is playing at such a high level,” LaFleur told Breer. “Like, he is playing at an MVP level.”
Those are some strong words coming from a coach who worked with four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers for four years previously. Rodgers earned two of those awards with LaFleur in Green Bay.
Love finished Sunday’s game with 16 completions in 21 pass attempts for 272 yards with three touchdown passes and zero interceptions. He also posted a near-perfect passer rating of 157.2.
The Packers will face the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET. The television broadcast will be on Fox.
