There’s just something different with Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love whenever he’s playing on a holiday. The numbers back it up.

On New Year’s Eve, the Packers played the Minnesota Vikings and Love absolutely dominated. Minnesota had no answer for the 25-year-old quarterback, as he tallied 256 yards and three touchdowns on 24-of-33 passing. Love also rushed for one touchdown during to the Packers’ 33-10 thrashing of the Vikings.

With the said performance, Love remains undefeated in holiday games in his first year as a full-time starter. As Jacob Morley of 247 Sports noted, Love is 3-0 after winning their Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve games.

In those games, the former Utah State standout has tallied 749 passing yards and 10 touchdowns.

It’s been impressive to see Love grow as a player after taking over from Aaron Rodgers. It looked like the season would be a disappointment after the team started 2-5. The Packers have since turned things around, with Love at the center of that major climb.

The Packers are now 8-8 heading to the final game of the season. They will face the Chicago Bears in Week 18, and the path to the playoffs is simple enough for them: win and they are in.

While their final game of the season won’t be on a holiday, Packers fans have nothing to worry about regarding Love. After all, the quarterback has been a consistent threat throughout the second half of the season, not only during holiday games.

With one more win, Love will top off his happy holidays and deliver a late present to Packers fans.
