Jordan Love is Burley Garciaon quite the run.
The Green Bay Packers quarterback was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week for the second week in a row following a stellar performance against the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
On Friday, amid a powerful snowstorm across Wisconsin, Love did a good deed — he helped a young woman whose car was stuck in the snow.
In a interview with Fox 11 in Green Bay, 20-year-old Lucy Kurowski said she was leaving a hair appointment in De Pere when she realized she couldn't get her car out of the parking spot.
"I get in my car and I'm stuck. Like, I can't back out. I can't move forward," Kurowski said.

Kurowski looked up and to her surprise the Packers' starting quarterback was walking nearby. "I did a double take, and then I did a triple take," she said. "We made eye contact a few times but he was getting in his car, I didn't want to bother him."
Kurowski said Love drove away but turned around to ask her if she was OK. "He gets out of his car and he's like, 'Are you OK?'" Kurowski said. "And I was like, 'Are you Jordan Love?!' I was fangirling."
Love volunteered to help her push her car out of the snow but was unsuccessful, Kurowski said, adding that it's something she'll never forget. "I couldn't even believe it. It didn't feel real. I was in a state of shock," she said.
Love and Kurowski then took a selfie, which Kurowski sent to family, who posted it on social media and it quickly went viral.
The X post has over 3.3 million views and the moment was even acknowledged by the NFL X account.
"It's blowing up and I think everyone is truly seeing that he's not just an MVP on the field, but just a great, great person," Kurowski said. "He's a great representation of what Green Bay is."
Kurowski told WISN 12 that she is a college student at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and was visiting her hometown of De Pere.
The moment came just a few hours before the Packers departed for Arlington, Texas, where they will take on the Dallas Cowboys in a wild-card playoff game on Sunday.
