Green Bay Packers: Jordan Love Says No to Potential Nickname After Surgery

The Green Bay Packers have a tough assignment right away in the upcoming 2025 NFL season, as they are scheduled to lock horns with the Detroit Lions in Week 1 at Lambeau Field.

With Jordan Love running the show from under center for the Packers, Green Bay fans are hoping that the team will have a great start to the campaign, something that did not happen in 2024, when Matt LaFleur’s squad lost its season opener to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil.

Before that showdown between the Lions and the Packers in Green Bay, Love went on an interview with “Kay Adams on the Up & Adams Show with Kay Adams.”

In a post on X (formerly Twitter) that promoted the interview, Adams wrote the following as a caption:

“I always leave a chat with Jordan Love completely impressed. Please watch & comment. He’s the terminator. He’s dialed in. He IS a Packer.”

In the interview itself, Adams asked Love about the nickname directly.

“Are you the terminator?” Adams asked.

“No, why do you say that?” Love responded.

Adams thought it was an apt nickname for the former Utah State Aggies star QB after his quick recovery from a seemingly minor thumb surgery.

Can the Green Bay Packers end the Lions’ dominance in the matchup?

The Packers won 11 games and suffered six losses in 2024. Two of those losses came at the hands of the Lions. Detroit beat the Packers in Week 9 at Lambeau Field, 24-14, and then again in Week 14 at Ford Field via a 34-31 score.

Green Bay has struggled to win against the Lions over the last few years. In fact, the Packers have won just once in their last seven meetings with Detroit.

Still, the Packers should love their chances to beat the Lions in Week 1. Green Bay is favored in that contest at the moment by 1.5 points as of this writing (per Covers).
