When the Kansas City Chiefs faced the Green Bay Packers at Arrowhead Stadium in Week 9, it was a special moment for Packers quarterback Jordan Love.
Love — a first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft — earned the first start of his NFL career against the Chiefs due to Aaron Rodgers being sidelined because of COVID-19. With it being Love’s first NFL start, his girlfriend — Ronika Stone — and his mother — Anna Love — were in attendance for the game at Arrowhead. However, where they were sitting drew many fans to Twitter to roast the Packers for their treatment of Love’s family.

Love’s Family in Nosebleeds
When the Fox broadcast showed footage of Love’s girlfriend and mother in attendance for the Week 9 game, it was hard not to notice that they were in the last row in the top section of stadium, in what fans like to call “the nosebleeds” due to how high up they are.

This sparked outrage from those that viewed the Fox broadcast, causing many fans to take to Twitter to voice their opinions about Green Bay, who couldn’t have provided their starting quarterback’s family with worse possible seats at Arrowhead.
“Jordan Love’s mom doesn’t look happy with her seat,” wrote Frank Miller.
“Jordan Love’s mom looks like she’s about to call the cops on Jordan Love’s girlfriend for not wearing a mask in a grocery store,” wrote Bartleby.

Love Swallowed up By Chiefs Defense
During his first career start, Love had a tough go against a Chiefs defense that’s trending upwards. The second-year QB completed 19 of 34 pass attempts for 190 yards, one touchdown and also threw one interception, according to ESPN’s box score. Love and the Green Bay’s offense managed just seven points against the Chiefs, who have put together back-to-back strong defensive performances after allowing just 17 points to the New York Giants in Week 8.
However, the Kansas City offense continued to struggle.
Against the Packers, quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 20 of 37 pass attempts for 166 yards and one touchdown. The defending AFC champions mustered up just the one touchdown and two field goals against Green Bay. However, they recorded zero turnovers, which was the first time they hadn’t turned the ball over since their Week 1 victory over the Cleveland Browns.
Now sitting at 5-4 on the season, the Chiefs in Week 10 will take on the division-rival Raiders in Las Vegas on Sunday, November 14 in primetime.
