Things won’t truly open up and be more consistent for the Green Bay Packers on offense until they start becoming more effective on downfield pass attempts.
It’s not that the Packers haven’t been willing to push the ball downfield, in fact, Jordan Love ranks third in attempts of 20-plus yards. However, he’s completed just nine of those passes, ranking 33rd out of 35 quarterbacks in completion percentage, and has thrown four interceptions on such passes, the second-most in football.
“A lot of it, obviously, is timing and just making those throws at the right time,” said offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich about the Packers deep ball issues.
