Jordan Love served as offensive playcaller in Packers preseason win

Jordan Love didn't just take the night off in the Green Bay Packers' final preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals. Instead, Love traded his helmet for a headset and served as the offensive playcaller in the second half, leading the team to a thrilling 42-38 victory over the Cardinals on August 28 at Lambeau Field. Packers offensive coordinator Adam LaFleur explained that Love took the headset in the second half, and the coach praised Love's calm demeanor during the critical moments of the game.

The Packers scored 18 fourth-quarter points, including two touchdowns from third-string quarterback Kyle McCord, to complete a dramatic comeback. Love will return to his regular duties in two weeks when the Packers begin the 2026 season against the Minnesota Vikings on September 13.
