From the article

Love was sacked on less than 10% of his dropbacks, which is much more respectable than, say, Malik Willis, who was also sacked four times but only had 27 dropbacks (15.6% sack percentage, 2nd most in the league). Love had the second-most yards of any QB and the league's longest play so far (81 yards).

STACKED’s take

NeutralMatchup

Love's sub-10% sack rate and downfield efficiency suggest he can handle Jets' more measured blitz approach.

Love was sacked four times in Week 1 on 42 passing attempts (second-most in NFL), but his sack rate of less than 10% per dropback is respectable compared to peers like Malik Willis (15.6%). The Vikings blitzed Love on 71.7% of his dropbacks (33 of 42), creating both turnovers and explosive plays; Love had the second-most passing yards and the league's longest play (81 yards). Against the Jets, Aaron Glenn's defense (30.8% blitz rate in Week 1) should be more strategic than Brian Flores's Minnesota approach. Love had the second-most air yards per attempt in Week 1 despite the fourth-fewest seconds to throw (2.56), indicating Matt LaFleur's scheme consistently gets receivers open downfield.
