The Green Bay Packers made headlines during the weekend of August 6th.
Despite the regular season not starting for a month, they had a nearly sold-out crowd for their “Family Night.”
Several photos were circulating the web comparing the difference between the Packers’ event and the Chicago Bears.
The Packers had a packed house, while the Bears’ stadium wasn’t even a quarter-full.
Packers fans are among the most passionate in the league and had a new motivation to see Jordan Love in action.
Love certainly didn’t disappoint, providing one of the most highlighted plays throughout the offseason.
In a video shared by J.J Lahey of Packers Talk via Dov Kleiman, Love threw a sidearm ball between several defenders which resulted in an Aaron Jones touchdown.

This throw made its way around the internet, providing mixed results.
It energized and excited Packers fans, as it reminded them of the spectacular throws of Aaron Rodgers.
However, other skeptics refused to buy into the hype, as they believed in real game time speed, Love would have gotten sacked.
The 2023 season could see a lot of growing pains for the Packers as they move forward with a new starting quarterback.
Rodgers and Brett Favre were longtime staples of this offense.
Can Love demonstrate similar brilliance, proving to the organization that they were right to move up in the draft for him?
A lot is riding on Love’s 2023 performance.
If he’s able to deliver in the passing game, the Packers could find themselves with a third-straight elite quarterback.
