Incredible stats on the Packers offensive line to start 2026
· Yahoo Sports
The Green Bay Packers have a BIG problem along the offensive line to start 2026. Matt LaFleur's team has no run game, and no appetite to even attempt to run the ball, and the pass protection is allowing Jordan Love to get pressured and hit at a historic rate. Predictably, the Packers offense can't barely function. Nothing else matters if you can't block up front.
Some incredible stats on the Packers offensive line problems:

-- Jordan Love is averaging 2.49 seconds to throw (the FASTEST among all quarterbacks) but has been under pressure on 42.1 percent of dropbacks (fifth-highest), per Next Gen Stats. This should be impossible. Jayden Daniels, who has been under the highest percentage of pressure this season, is averaging 3.25 seconds to throw! Keep in mind, Next Gen Stats identified a "quick" pressure as any pressure within the first 2.5 seconds of a play. How can a quarterback be under this amount of pressure so fast?
-- The Packers have rushed for 146 yards in three games. According to Pro Football Reference, that's the lowest amount for a Packers team in the first three games of a season...ever. Well, at least since rushing stats were officially tracked. Which dates back to the 1930s! Only 17 NFL teams since 1950 have rushed for fewer than 150 yards during the first three games of a season.
-- The Packers came into Week 2 with an 18 percent pass-block win rate, per ESPN. Somehow, that number DROPPED in Week 3 to 16 percent. Per Rob Demovsky of ESPN, the 16 percent pass-block win rate is the lowest for any team through three games since the start was first established in 2017, so the Packers have set a 10-year low.
-- Pro Football Reference has charted Jordan Love with taking 20 hits in three games. That means he's on pace to take 113 hits across 17 games, assuming he lasts the whole season. Love has never taken more than 49 hits in a single season since becoming the starter in 2023.
-- The Packers allowed 17 "quick" pressures in Week 1 and 15 "quick" pressures in Week 3. Overall, the Packers have allowed an NFL-high 38 "quick pressures" across three games, by FAR the most in the Jordan Love era, per Next Gen Stats.
-- Through three games, the Packers are averaging 48.7 rushing yards per game, the worst in the NFL, and -0.45 EPA/rush, the second worst in the NFL. Their rushing success rate is 31.3 percent. The Packers are also the only team running the ball on fewer than 30 percent of plays. Matt LaFleur's team is at 26.7 percent.
-- Overall, Jordan Love has been under pressure on 59 dropbacks, per PFF. He has completed only 18 of 50 passes (36.0 completion percentage) for 300 yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions, plus six turnover-worthy plays. It's almost incredible that Love has only been sacked eight times. His pressure-to-sack percentage is 13.6.
