The New York Times sports

Key Points:

  • Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich acknowledged the team's poor pass protection in Week 1, with quarterback Jordan Love being hit 18 times, attributing the issues to miscommunications, mental breakdowns, and physical deficiencies.
  • The Minnesota Vikings applied relentless pressure, blitzing on 73.9% of Packers dropbacks and achieving a 54.3% pressure rate, the highest in the NFL after Week 1, exposing weaknesses in Green Bay's offensive line.
  • Stenavich indicated potential changes to the Packers' offensive line lineup for Week 2, including rotating players in practice to find the best combination, with attention on players like Anthony Belton and the health status of Aaron Banks.
  • Despite the struggles, Stenavich emphasized the importance of learning from the tough first game and improving communication and technique, while head coach Matt LaFleur stressed the need for continuity on the offensive line, which has been hampered by injuries.
  • The Packers aim to improve their run game to aid pass protection and prepare for upcoming opponents, with a key test coming against the New York Jets in Week 2 and a chance to address their protection issues.
