Jordan Love's touchdown pass to Tucker Kraft deserves a spot in The Louvre. It perfectly blended the games of Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers—just don't tell Matt LaFleur.

It had enough Favre risk-taking while throwing the ball at about 100mph, mixed in with Rodgers' ability to place the pass into the tightest of windows as the ball barely escaped the outstretched arms of Houston Texans safety Calen Bullock.

Love made just enough plays, and the Packers' pass rush dominated to help the team pull off an important over the Texans.

His touchdown to Kraft was a highlight-reel moment, but it doesn't sound like Bullock is enjoying the widespread praise for Love after this play.

More specifically, he didn't like the pass being described as "perfect."

"Perfect ? The ball went through my hands," Bullock wrote on X.

Uhh, who's going to tell him?

Calen Bullock roasts himself with comments about Jordan Love's TD pass

According to Bullock, it went "through" his hands. As one Packers fan pointed out, then why didn't he just catch it?

It's not like he can't catch. Bullock had an interception earlier in the game, his third of the season.

Upon further review, it doesn't look like it went "through" his hands at all. A close-up of the pass makes Love look even better—the ball flew just beyond Bullock's reach. At best, the Texans' rookie could've deflected it. There's no way he was intercepting it.

I get it. It can't be fun watching a highlight-reel touchdown played over and over at your expense. But sometimes, it's best to just say nothing. Bullock made a great attempt at playing the ball and barely missed out because Love placed the pass so perfectly. By claiming it went through his hands, he is actually making himself look worse.

Fortunately for the Packers, Kraft was there to make an incredible diving catch.

Love threw the ball into a tight window and out of Bullock's reach. Or, in his words, through his hands. Sounds like a perfect pass to us.

Bullock could've prevented all of this and proved the pass was, in fact, not perfect, if he had just, uh, caught it?!
