After three weeks of the 2026 NFL season, the Green Bay Packers were 1-2, with an embarrassing loss to the Atlanta Falcons in primetime. Quarterback Jordan Love had been pressured on 44.4% of his dropbacks, the highest among quarterbacks in the league. The Packers addressed this issue by adding veterans Laken Tomlinson, Mekhi Becton, and Kevin Zeitler to bolster their offensive line.
Love's pressure rate dropped to 20%, the lowest among quarterbacks in the league, after the additions. Love attempted 13 passes of 20 yards or more downfield in the past two games, while previously only Jameis Winston had attempted more. Play-action has been used more frequently by Love, with 30.6% of his dropbacks utilizing the technique in the last two weeks, ranking 13th in the league.
Love's completion rate has improved to 78.1% with an average of 13.3 yards per attempt, eliminating pressure from opponents.
