Did Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur throw his young quarterback to his wolves on Sunday in Kansas City?
It certainly looked that way as Jordan Love was under constant duress in his debut against the Kansas City Chiefs. For most of the night, defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo sent blitz after blitz to see how Love would react. It was simple but effective.
In total, Love was blitzed on over half of his drop-backs, according to Pro Football Focus. The Chiefs’ defense totaled a staggering 28 pressures. That is by far the most any defense has logged against this front all season.
