Green Bay, January 11, 2026 – Following a dangerous, MMA-style hit on Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love during their recent Wild Card matchup against the Chicago Bears, Packers President Ed Policy has formally filed a complaint with the NFL, demanding a full investigation into the incident.
The contested play involved what many observers called a clear roughing-the-passer and helmet-to-helmet contact, which went uncalled by the officials. Love, recently recovering from a concussion sustained in Week 16, was targeted in a way that put his health at serious risk. According to Policy, this penalty not only endangered Love but may have directly contributed to Green Bay’s loss.

“This is the second instance in two games where it’s evident certain players deliberately attempted to injure or at least limit Jordan’s effectiveness,” Policy said. “Despite existing penalties from Week 16, these actions appear intentional. Whether we win or lose, this strategy undermines our team’s performance and compromises the integrity of the game.”
Policy emphasized that this is not just a concern for a single player but a broader issue of collective sportsmanship. “The NFL needs to thoroughly investigate this,” he continued. “This was not a typical in-game collision — it was an orchestrated, unsportsmanlike action targeting a player’s safety. It reflects poorly on the league and sets a dangerous precedent for player conduct.”
The Packers are urging the NFL to consider enhanced penalties for similar hits and to ensure that referees are empowered to prevent future occurrences. Team medical staff have confirmed that Love will be monitored closely following the incident, and the organization is prioritizing his health above all else.
The filing signals a firm stance from Green Bay that deliberate attempts to harm players will not be tolerated and that the league must hold accountable both individuals and the collective culture that permits such actions.
Policy concluded, “Football is a tough sport, but targeting a player’s health intentionally is unacceptable. This investigation isn’t just about one quarterback — it’s about preserving the fairness, safety, and integrity of the NFL.”
