After the “Thursday Night Football” showdown between the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers at Ford Field, quarterbacks Jared Goff and Jordan Love shared a postgame moment that caught the attention of many.
Goff helped the Lions beat Love and the Packers in a tightly contested affair, with Detroit needing a go-ahead field goal as time expired to get the 34-31 victory at home. Goff finished with 32-of-41 pass completion for 283 yards and three touchdowns along with just one interception.
Love, for his part, completed 12 of his 20 passes for 206 yards and one touchdown.
Following the game, the two quarterbacks met in the middle of the field for a postgame handshake. The Lions quarterback proceeded to hug his Packers counterpart and shared some words with him.
The NFL caught the moment on camera and shared a photo of the exchange on social media.
Nothing but respect
Sure enough, fans loved the moment as well and took to the comment section to show their admiration for both Jared Goff and Jordan Love.
“Game respect game,” a commenter wrote. Another one said, “Mutual respect.”
“Great game!” a supporter added.
A social media user shared, “Love to see it.”
“Respect levels through the roof-can’t argue with that,” a fifth fan added.
A follower further stated, “Both balled out.”
Both quarterbacks certainly deserve the respect and recognition they are getting after the incredible game they played.
Goff and the Lions return to action in Week 15 against the Buffalo Bills on Dec. 15, while Love and the Packers will look to bounce back against the Seattle Seahawks on the same day.
