Sunday was a big day for Packers quarterback Jordan Love and his entire family.

Love made his first NFL start against the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium in place of Aaron Rodgers, who missed the game after testing positive for COVID-19.

Love, who was taken in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, played sparingly in the Packers’ season opener in September. But he was in the spotlight for Sunday’s game, and that’s why his mother made the trip to Arrowhead Stadium to see him play.

Thing is, the away team seats at Arrowhead Stadium are nowhere near the field, as Fox Sports’ Erin Andrews reported. So Love’s mom was seated in the very last row, along with Love’s girlfriend.

Fans couldn’t believe that Love’s mom couldn’t get a better seat to Sunday’s game. Some made jokes, too. Here is what people were saying on Twitter.
