Matt LaFleur sounds off on QB Jordan Love

The preseason is over for the Green Bay Packers, and now the attention turns to the upcoming 2022 regular season schedule. 

Backup quarterback Jordan Love paced the offense without posting any crazy numbers, finishing the evening by completing 16 of 26 passes for 148 yards and a touchdown as the visiting Packers were felled by the host Kansas City Chiefs by a 17-10 score on Thursday. 

However, head coach Matt LaFleur is happy with what he saw from Love. 

"I think early on there wasn't really a lot open for him and he was under some duress," LaFleur said. "The one thing I loved about it is, when the game doesn't start out the way you want it to, how do you respond? I thought he showed a lot of resiliency, and I think that just shows the maturation process that he has done over the last couple years." 

"I thought there was a lot of good things out there. I always look at the numbers at the end of it and I am like, that doesn't make sense," LaFleur said. "I thought he did a lot of good things, but we will take a look at the tape. I am sure there is always something to clean up, but all in all, I thought Jordan did a lot of good things out there."

The Packers open the regular season on September 11 vs. the division rival Minnesota Vikings on the road.
