Lisa Salters' postgame interview with Packers quarterback Jordan Love featured a cameo she never expected.
When catching up with Love after Green Bay's 34-0 shutout win over New Orleans on “Monday Night Football” at Lambeau Field, ESPN reporters talked about how the quarterback's teammates and defensemen I was surprised when end Rashan Gary momentarily interrupted the conversation on the sideline.
“Jordan, you're officially going to the playoffs, how do you feel?'' Coach Salters asked Love, and when Gary entered the frame, Love replied, “Great, this is what we've been working on all season.'' I was able to do it.”
“Stop playing with him!” Gary yelled, seemingly catching Salters off guard. “Please cut the ticket again!”
As the energetic 27-year-old Gary left, Salters told Love: “He was scared.”
The 26-year-old quarterback then turned his attention back to Salters' original question about the Packers' playoff berth and mentioned Gary.
“What he said, what he said,” Love replied.
The Packers clinched their fifth playoff berth in six seasons under head coach Matt LaFleur after Monday's win over the Saints.
Love had 16 of 28 hits for 182 yards and one touchdown, helping Green Bay improve to 11-4 on the season.
Gailey, a 2019 first-round pick out of Michigan State who has spent his entire NFL career in Green Bay, had two tackles on Monday.
The Packers, who will face the Vikings (13-2), are currently awaiting an update on receiver Christian Watson, who left Monday's game with a knee injury.
“Certainly there's some concern there,” LaFleur said. According to ESPN. “We're going to do some more testing tomorrow. I think we'll be able to give you an answer tomorrow.”
The Vikings will host the Packers on Sunday after the holidays at 4:25 p.m.
