Packers and Jordan Love stand tall against Chiefs pressure

Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers offense delivered an efficient performance against a very good and aggressive Kansas City defense, and a key element was how well Green Bay handled the pressure packages that the Chiefs threw at them.

The Chiefs entered Sunday’s game ranked second in pressure rate this season, and often were able to generate those hurries, hits, and sacks through blitzing. Kansas City blitzes at the sixth-highest rate in football, and as running backs coach Ben Sirmans said prior to the matchup, there isn’t anyone on that defense who is off limits when it comes to blitzing.
