The Green Bay Packers are close to securing a spot in the 2024 postseason. With a 10-4 record, Green Bay will host the New Orleans Saints for Monday Night Football. It’s a “win and in” situation for the Packers, as a victory will guarantee their entry into the playoffs.
Of course, quarterback Jordan Love is a key factor in Green Bay’s success this season. Head Coach Matt LaFleur was taken aback when he learned why some fans believe Love has stepped up his game recently.

According to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic:
ESPN’s Rob Demovsky did a great job explaining the connection between Toyotathon and Love’s performance:

As the holiday season approaches, so does the NFL postseason, and for Green Bay Packers fans, the Toyotathon has begun.
Toyota’s annual sales event, which runs from mid-November to early January, offers special deals on vehicles. Toyota, the NFL’s official automotive partner since October 2023, has a unique effect on Packers quarterback Jordan Love, who faces the Seattle Seahawks on “Sunday Night Football.”
Love is having another strong season. He has thrown for 2,724 yards, with 21 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. However, a September TikTok highlighted a curious trend: Love’s stats tend to improve during Toyotathon. ESPN’s Mina Kimes also took note of this.
During the eight games last year between November and January, Love posted a 6-2 record, with 2,150 passing yards and a touchdown-to-interception ratio of 18-to-1. He’s carried that momentum into this season, with a 3-1 record since November 17, throwing for 904 yards, four touchdowns, and just one interception.
Here is a look at Love’s stats this season:
