He’s not wrong.
Jordan Love and Jayden Reed connected for one of the best plays of the entire season. Love placed the ball perfectly between three defenders, and Reed somehow made a catch in traffic. It resulted in a 53-yard gain, setting up the Green Bay Packers’ opening touchdown in their win over the Los Angeles Rams.
Perfection.
It kickstarted the offense and played an important part in the Packers’ five-point victory at SoFi Stadium. The Love-to-Reed combination continues to dominate. In their three games together this season, they have connected 17 times for 355 yards and two touchdowns.
Reed had the perfect reaction to his 53-yard catch after the game.

Reed stepped up with a big-time play when the Packers needed it, and he had a hilarious reaction on X (formerly Twitter).
“F*ck it Reed down there somewhere,” he posted.
F*ck it Reed down there somewhere😂🔥

He isn’t wrong. Love launched the ball for 62 air yards into triple coverage and had no business completing the pass. The throw was spectacular, but the catch was every bit as impressive. And if Reed continues to come up with the ball like that, Love will keep looking his way, no matter how many defenders are in the area.
Despite being slightly undersized for a typical Packers receiver, it’s easy to see why they drafted him. He can leap up and make contested catches against any defender, just as he did on his touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings last week.
With Christian Watson injured and Romeo Doubs suspended, the Packers needed their star receiver to step up. Reed and tight end Tucker Kraft dominated, combining for 166 yards and two touchdowns on eight receptions.
Ever since the Packers selected him in the second round last year, Reed has been outstanding. He led the team in receiving a year ago and has leveled up again this season. Reed already has 414 receiving yards and two touchdowns to go with 110 rushing yards and a score. He is on pace to destroy last season’s numbers.
Reed is on track to catch 71 passes for 1,407 yards and seven touchdowns this season. That would put him in the All-Pro conversation.
Reed has emerged as the Packers’ best receiver, and he is making spectacular plays every week. His catch was incredible, maybe even impossible, but his postgame reaction was even better.
