KC Chiefs vs. Green Bay Packers prediction: Chiefs must take advantage of QB situation
How uncomfortable can the Chiefs make Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers’ offense?
That’s what the Chiefs-Packers game could come down to. The Chiefs have had plenty of problems on offense this season, to be sure, but the Packers have to figure out a way to score with a quarterback who will be making his first NFL start.
There is little NFL tape of Love to study because the 2020 first-round draft selection simply hasn’t played much. He’s appeared in two games and took most of the snaps in the preseason.
“We’ll dig as much as we can and research as much as we can and find out as much as we possibly can,” Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo said.
With Rodgers, the game was seen as even by oddsmakers. Without the 2020 NFL MVP, the Chiefs zoomed to a touchdown favorite.
None of the Chiefs’ remaining opponents has less than a .500 record, but none will start a quarterback this inexperienced, either. The Chiefs should take advantage.
Kickoff: 3:25 p.m.
