NFL Legend Brett Favre Defends Jordan Love After Adam Schefter’s Critical Remarks That Packers’ Success Is Built on Luck — And Love’s Calm Response Earns Respect Across the NFL
Green Bay, Wisconsin – November 18, 2025
Just hours after renowned NFL insider Adam Schefter publicly suggested that the Packers’ strong record was built on “luck and referee favoritism,” the NFL world was thrown into a swirl of debate. Schefter, a well‑known reporter for ESPN, has long been regarded as one of the most trusted voices in NFL media.
But the focus quickly shifted away from Schefter’s commentary and landed squarely on one of the franchise’s most iconic figures: Brett Favre, widely regarded as one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history.
In a nationally‑aired spot, Favre proclaimed:
“Jordan Love isn’t winning because of some lucky break. He’s winning because he’s been preparing for this moment for his entire career. This Packers team has earned every bit of success they’ve had—and no one can take that away. We’re not here by chance. We’re here because of hard work, dedication and execution.”
Favre, who rewrote the record books during his years in Green Bay, took a strong stand defending his successor, Jordan Love — the young quarterback now leading the Packers. Love has been showing poise, leadership and a steady hand under center.
In another statement, Favre emphasized:
“Jordan Love is not winning because of luck. He’s winning because of hard work, discipline and execution. Back in my prime, I played smart football—and that’s what he’s doing now. This Packers team is built on preparation, chemistry and a belief in each other. Referees don’t win games, and no amount of TV talk changes what’s happening on that field. We win because we deserve it.”
His words spread fast. Packers fans flooded social‑media in support of both Favre’s defense of Love and the team’s impressive run. One fan tweeted: “When Brett Favre speaks, Packers Nation listens.”
Favre didn’t stop there. In a follow‑up comment that quickly became a rallying cry in Green Bay, he added:
“Some people sit in studios and talk about quarterbacks. Others, like Jordan, carry the weight of an entire franchise. There’s a big difference between the two.”
That remark struck a chord throughout Packers Nation, fueling hashtags and chatter across platforms.
Meanwhile, Jordan Love himself remained composed amid the noise. At a press availability during the team’s bye week, Love was asked about Schefter’s remarks. With calm assurance he replied:
“I don’t let outside opinions get to me. I know how hard this team works, and I know the effort we put in. If people think we’re winning because of luck, they should watch the film. We’re playing for Green Bay—and that’s all that matters.”
Love’s composed response only strengthened his image as a rising leader, and his steadiness in the face of criticism resonated deeply with Packers supporters.
As Packers Nation rallied behind Love, Favre’s words became a symbol of legacy meeting the present. With his backing, the commentary around luck and favoritism faded into the background. Green Bay now moves forward with renewed focus, preparing for the rest of the season with confidence that they have both talent and leadership.
From the frozen banks of the Fox River to the farthest corners of Packers Nation, the message was clear: “Let them talk. We will keep winning.”
And for fans of the Packers, the victory isn’t just in the stats — it’s in the way a young leader like Jordan Love is handling pressure, supported by the legacy of Brett Favre.

Just hours after critics claimed the Panthers’ strong start was built on “luck and referee favoritism,” the NFL world shifted its focus—landing squarely on Cam Newton, a franchise legend for the Panthers. Newton, who won the NFL MVP in 2015 while leading Carolina to a 15‑1 record, is widely regarded as the defining quarterback of the franchise’s modern era.
In a national television appearance, Newton made his position clear:
“Bryce Young isn’t winning because of some lucky break. He’s winning because he’s been preparing for this moment his entire life. This Panthers team has earned every bit of success they’ve had, and no one can take that away. We’re not here by chance. We’re here because of hard work, dedication, and execution.”
Young, the first overall pick by Carolina in 2023, has shown flashes of the poise and leadership the franchise hopes will carry it forward.
Newton added:
“Bryce’s success isn’t “just luck”. He’s winning because of hard work, discipline, and execution. Just like I did in my time here, he’s playing smart football. This Panthers team is built on preparation, chemistry, and belief in each other. Referees don’t win games—no amount of chatter changes what’s happening on that field. We win because we deserve it.”
Those remarks ignited social‑media support as Panthers Nation rallied around Young and Newton’s defense of him. The hashtag #NewtonBacksYoung quickly trended among Carolina fans.
Meanwhile, Bryce Young himself responded calmly when asked about the criticism during a team media session:
“I don’t let outside opinions affect me. I know how hard this team works and the effort we put in. If people think we’re winning because of luck, they should watch the tape. We’re playing for Carolina, and that’s what matters.”
Young’s composed response further strengthened his growing reputation as a leader under pressure. One fan summed it up: “This is our QB1. Cam Newton talks. Bryce Young proves.”
With Panthers Nation rallying behind Young, Newton’s support provided a powerful symbol of continuity and legacy. The focus shifted away from the criticism and toward the future—and Carolina now moves forward with renewed energy, confident that they have both the talent and leadership to make a meaningful playoff run.
From Charlotte to every corner of Panthers Nation, the message was clear: “Let them talk. We’ll keep winning.”
And for Panthers fans, the win isn’t just reflected in the scoreboard—but in the way a young leader like Bryce Young is handling the pressure, supported by the legacy of Cam Newton.
