Erin Andrews will likely see plenty of the Green Bay Packers when covering NFC action for FOX in future years. The broadcaster is looking forward to watching Jordan Love lead the organization.
On her Calm Down podcast with Charissa Thompson, Andrews discussed Love and the Packers following their playoff run.
“I’m so excited for the Packers’ future. I just am,” Andrews said. “Jordan Love is such a dream. We’ve talked about it before. He is so sweet. He is so thoughtful. He’s really done well in getting that group together. I’m excited about what’s going to happen down the road.”

In his first year replacing Aaron Rodgers as Green Bay’s starting quarterback, Love tossed 36 touchdowns with a 96.1 quarterback rating. The 25-year-old dazzled in his postseason debut, completing 16 of 21 passes for 272 yards and three touchdowns in a 48-32 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
“We came in here with the mindset that we were going to dominate,” Love told Andrews in the on-field interview after defeating Dallas. “A lot of people counted us out; we didn’t care about that.”
Andrews got another chance to watch Love when FOX aired an NFC Divisional Round game between the Packers and San Francisco 49ers. Green Bay nearly pulled off a second road upset, but San Francisco rallied to salvage a 24-21 victory.
Although Love threw two interceptions in the elimination loss, the former No. 26 pick still established himself as Green Bay’s newest franchise quarterback. He’ll likely receive a lucrative extension before the 2024 season.
Andrews appreciates the chance to go to Lambeau Field more often to cover an emerging young team. She said the NFL “is fun when Green Bay is good.”
