Green Bay, Wisconsin – January 7, 2026
Tensions between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears escalated off the field before their upcoming Wild Card matchup, after Bears wide receiver DJ Moore posted a message aimed squarely at Packers fans: “Without Micah Parsons, the Packers are nothing.” The remark immediately sparked backlash across social media, with Packers Nation responding with disbelief and anger.
At the center of the response was Packers quarterback Jordan Love, who did not hold back in defending his team and the fanbase. Speaking candidly about the post, Love said:
“DJ can say what he wants, but Packers fans know the truth. We’ve got heart, we’ve got resilience, and this team is more than any one player. Micah Parsons is great, but Green Bay is a franchise built on more than just one individual — and we’ll show that on the field.”
Love’s response quickly went viral, resonating with both teammates and fans, as it underscored Packers’ team identity and resilience. Analysts noted that Love’s comments reflect a larger theme in Green Bay this season: the ability to respond to criticism with performance rather than social media posturing.
The timing of Moore’s remarks has added extra fuel to the rivalry, particularly with the Packers entering the postseason as the NFC’s No. 7 seed and facing the Bears in a crucial Wild Card matchup at Soldier Field. Love and the Packers have emphasized that they will let their play speak for them, using Moore’s comments as motivation rather than distraction.
“We don’t need to engage in trash talk,” Love added. “We’ll answer with execution, teamwork, and dedication. That’s how we represent Green Bay — on and off the field.”
With the stakes at an all-time high for the rivalry and the postseason, Packers fans are now eagerly anticipating whether Jordan Love and his team can prove that Green Bay is more than any single player, and show the Bears exactly what resilience looks like.
