Love completed only 50% of his throws in Green Bay's Week 1 loss to Minnesota and turned the ball over twice (one interception, one fumble) against Brian Flores' heavy pressure. However, he finished with 19.48 points thanks to 387 passing yards and two touchdowns. The source expects the Packers to want more offensive balance with the run game for Sunday's home matchup versus the Jets but does not see a ton of juice in the Green Bay backfield; Love can be used as a superflex option.

Love faces a favorable matchup against the Jets defense, which performed well in Week 1 only against a weak Titans offense. Love was pressured on 45% of his pass attempts against the Vikings (in typical Brian Flores fashion), but in a clean pocket averaged 9.9 yards per pass attempt with two touchdowns. Against the Jets, he should have much more favorable conditions. His passing yards prop of 257.5 yards is the third-highest of Week 2, and with the Packers' disappointing run game, Green Bay is expected to dial up volume for Love to secure the first win of 2026.

Love was left confused and pressured by Brian Flores' creative defensive scheme in Week 1 against Minnesota; Flores' varied blitz packages and disguised pressure tactics forced Love into hurried throws and sacks, with the Vikings' defensive coordinator using Double Mug tactics (defensive backs playing gap-rush roles) to dismantle play-action effectiveness and force max protection schemes that wasted personnel in the fourth quarter.

Jordan Love was hit 15 times and sacked four times in Sunday's 39-22 loss to Minnesota, with offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich actually counting 18 hits. The Vikings pressured Love on nearly 55% of his dropbacks while blitzing at an unheard of rate. The source notes that while Brian Flores created a uniquely difficult assignment in a hostile environment, communication and mental errors caused breakdowns in the Packers' offensive line protection scheme.

Love had a busy Week 1 with uneven results: he attempted the second-most passes (42) with the second-most passing yards (387), but his per-dropback metrics were poor. Among 32 qualifying passers, he was seventh in yards per attempt and ninth-highest in aDOT (10.4), but 12th-lowest in passing success rate, second-worst in highly accurate throw rate, and had the highest off-target rate. The source is worried about Love in Week 2, noting that concerns reside more with Love's execution than the Jets' pass defense.

Love attempted the second-most passes in Week 1 (42) for 387 passing yards (second-most), but his per-dropback metrics were poor: seventh in yards per attempt, ninth-highest aDOT (10.4), 12th-lowest in passing success rate, second-worst in highly accurate throw rate, and highest off-target rate among 32 qualifying passers. The source is worried about Love in Week 2, citing his own performance issues more than the Jets' pass defense, which allowed the fewest yards per attempt and 14th-lowest passing success rate in Week 1 (though against Cam Ward, a bottom-five NFL quarterback).

Love had a busy day in Week 1 with uneven results, attempting the second-most passes (42) and posting the second-most passing yards (387), but his per-dropback metrics were horrible. Among 32 qualifying passers, he ranked seventh in yards per attempt and ninth-highest in aDOT (10.4), but was 12th-lowest in passing success rate, second-worst in highly accurate throw rate, and had the highest off-target rate. The source is worried about Love in Week 2. While the Jets allowed the fewest yards per attempt in Week 1, the source's worries reside more with Love's performance than the Jets' pass defense, noting those numbers were accumulated against Cam Ward, a bottom-five quarterback.

Love faced Brian Flores' blitz scheme in Week 1, which blitzed him on 78.3% of dropbacks, resulting in a pressure rate above 50% and four sacks. Love showed he could beat the blitz in the first three quarters with a 60% completion rate, 227 passing yards, and two TD passes, but the blitz eventually overwhelmed him and the Packers' offensive line in the fourth quarter, leading to one interception, two forced fumbles, and three sacks.

The Packers play their second straight road game, where Love has tended to underwhelm (11-17-1 ATS, -24.1% ROI), but HC Matt LaFleur crushes in Week 2 (7-0 ATS, 93.0% ROI). Love impressed in 2023 in his first starting season (4,159 passing yards, 32 TDs) and improved as a passer over the next two years (8.1 AY/A vs. 7.4). Freedman expects that progression to continue in 2026 and has Love as one of his 2026 NFL bold predictions to win MVP. After Love passed for 387 yards and 2 TDs in Week 1 (in a 39-22 loss), his path to the award should begin in earnest this week against the Jets, who are No. 32 in defensive dropback EPA (0.291) and pass DVOA (45.3%). The Jets could be without EDGE Joseph Ossai (foot) and FS Minkah Fitzpatrick (groin).
