Jordan Love Calls Plays in Packers' Preseason Finale Win
The Green Bay Packers secured a 42-38 victory against the Arizona Cardinals in their preseason finale, with quarterback Jordan Love calling the offensive plays in the second half, despite not taking any snaps during the game.
Head coach Matt LaFleur revealed that Love took over play-calling duties after offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich managed the first half. Love's performance was notable as he guided the team to 18 points in the fourth quarter, including a game-winning touchdown drive.
LaFleur mentioned that the decision for Love to call plays was spontaneous and that he accepted the challenge without prior preparation. Third-string quarterback Kyle McCord also had a standout performance, completing 22 of 35 passes for 236 yards and four touchdowns, further complicating roster decisions as the team prepares for the regular season opener against the Minnesota Vikings on September 13.
