Welcome to Sports Spectrum, the Sports and Faith podcast that brings Jesus back into the conversation.

Here's your host, Jason Romano.

Hey guys, welcome to Sports Spectrum. I am Jason Romano. It is Super Bowl Week and we are down in

0:22.1

Tampa, Florida, the site of Super Bowl 55 between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City

0:29.6

Chiefs. And it'll be interesting to see who's going to win this game. I don't know,

0:34.7

honestly, who's going to win. I have a feeling Kansas City is probably the favorite here, and I'm probably leaning towards

But Jordy had a decorated career with the Packers, and it was a 2020 inductee into the Wisconsin Sports

1:29.4

Hall of Fame. He holds multiple Packers franchise records, including most receiving

1:35.0

yards in a season in 2014 and most receiving yards in a playoff game. And that game

1:40.9

happened to be Super Bowl 45, where he caught nine passes for 140 yards and a touchdown

1:47.2

and could have easily won the Super Bowl MVP. But when Aaron Rogers is your quarterback,
