From the article

Love was sacked four times in Week 1 and use that as the basis for the 'Swiss cheese offensive line' argument, but no one adds the caveat that his 42 passing attempts were the second-most in the NFL last week. Love was sacked on less than 10% of his dropbacks

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Love's Week 1 sack rate respectable despite volume; faces Jets' top-3 run defense and strategic 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% on 27 attempts). The Vikings blitzed Love on 71.7% of his dropbacks (33 of 42), creating both turnovers and explosive plays; Love finished with the second-most passing yards and the league's longest play (81 yards). Against the Jets' top-3 run-stuffing defense and Aaron Glenn's more restrained blitz approach (30.8% vs. Flores's 71.7%), Love will likely face a more strategic defensive scheme but still needs to execute downfield against a secondary that allowed significant air yards per attempt.
