The Green Bay Packers defense put the fear into the New Orleans Saints on their way to a shutout victory Monday night and a playoff berth.
Packers defensive end Rashan Gary carried this aggression over into the postgame when he crashed Jordan Love’s on-field interview with ESPN’s Lisa Salters.
And he gave the veteran reporter a scare in the process.
Salters asked Love how it felt to clinch a playoff berth after the 34-0 win at home.
“It’s amazing, this is what we work for all offseason,” Love said before he was interrupted by the lurking Gary.
“I played with him,” a fired up Gary shouted on camera. “Once again punch the ticket.”
Love, known for his calmness, told Gary “come on man, come on” appearing to ask him to lower the temperature a bit knowing he was on national TV.
Gary came back for more to make a barking sound.
Salters could be heard saying to him “you scared me.”
Gary and the Packers defense will give the Saints offense nightmares. The Packers’ suffocating defense pitched the first shutout of the 2024 NFL season.
Gary was a big part of it. He recovered a fumble in the first half, one of two takeaways for the Packers defense in the game.
