Quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, Jordan Love, seems to hit his stride around the festive period. You could almost suggest his performance metrics reach an elevated gear during this time.
Spectators have observed his statistics from the past two seasons coinciding with Toyotathons—the yearly holiday sales event hosted by the Japanese car manufacturer, typically spanning from the middle of November until January 5th—and the figures are quite astonishing: 28 scores thrown versus only two intercepted passes.
In contests outside of the Toyotathon window, his numbers stand at: 29 touchdowns alongside 20 interceptions.
Love has welcomed these fan-generated observations. He, in collaboration with Toyota and Panini, transformed this fan belief into an enjoyable marketing effort: 250 unique trading cards, each containing a fragment of a Christmas sweater that Love actually wore. Furthermore, these cards feature his relevant statistics printed on the reverse side.
Love shared this declaration on his Instagram account: “The Toyotathon period has commenced,” potentially signaling a warning to the rest of the NFL.

During a recent gathering accessible to the media, he remarked, “I simply find it to be a neat coincidence. Naturally, the supporters embraced the idea and amplified it into something substantial. It is certainly noteworthy. If one examines the data, for everyone involved in our offense, I feel we begin to operate more smoothly. We manage to establish that consistent beat for executing plays.”
The Toyotathon has officially kicked off, and the Packers fanbase is undoubtedly wishing for this pattern to persist. The team faces a crucial sequence of upcoming matchups, most notably this week when they take on one of their bitter divisional adversaries, the Detroit Lions, on Thanksgiving Day.
