If one were to grade Jordan Love on his first start, it would be difficult to justify anything other than an “incomplete.” The Green Bay Packers’ young quarterback showed both his youth and inexperience as well as some glimmers of the talent that the team saw when they drafted him, but both were tempered by the play of those around him.
Well, specifically, they were tempered by the play of those in front of him. The Packers’ pass protection against the Kansas City Chiefs’ aggressive defense was poor at best, often hurrying Love’s throws and causing him to throw inaccurately.
