Jordan Love went 5/7 for 56 yards and 1 TD.
Jordan Love played just one series against the Denver Broncos in Week 2 of the preseason, but the Green Bay Packers' starting QB performed well.
Love went 5/7 through the air for 56 passing yards and one passing touchdown to MarShawn Lloyd.
Packers Film Room broke down how Love really played against the Broncos and the verdict is good.
"This was a really nice showing from Love and the starting offense," Packers Film Room wrote. "Something notable here is how they ran the offense. Yes, they kept it fairly simple, but it was primarily through moving pockets. You can read that a couple different ways.
"The first reading is that the Packers were keeping this simple and leaning on some of their core passing concept. Don’t give anything away. Keep it vanilla, etc. The other reading goes hand-in-hand with some of the changes on the offensive line. It hasn’t been any secret that the Packers have been looking to get bigger on the offensive line over the last few years, as a way to lean more into the power running game."
Love has turned into a solid QB under Matt LaFleur, but the Packers aren't paying Love to be solid. They are paying him to be a superstar.
After all, Love signed a massive four-year, $220 million contract with Green Bay in 2024.
Love finished last season with 3,381 passing yards and 23 passing touchdowns while completing 66.3% of his passes. The Packers went 9-7-1 and lost to the Chicago Bears in the wild-card round of the 2025 NFL playoffs.
Love enters this season with 11,535 passing yards and 83 passing touchdowns. He's 27-20-1 as a starter.
The Packers open the 2026 season against the Minnesota Vikings. It's time for Love to play like an MVP, especially since Micah Parsons will miss the start of the campaign while recovering from his ACL tear.
Green Bay is 1-3 in the playoffs since Love took over for future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers. Both Rodgers and Brett Favre won a Super Bowl with the Packers, so Love is under pressure to follow in their footsteps.
The Packers are 79–46–1 under LaFleur, including regular season and playoff games.
It will be interesting to see how Green Bay does in 2026.
