Jordan Love highlights kicker as Packers lose preseason opener to Steelers

The Green Bay Packers lost 28-9 to the Pittsburgh Steelers in their preseason opener on August 13, 2026. Quarterback Jordan Love noted the performance of kicker Trey Smack as a positive, as Smack successfully made all three of his field goal attempts, including a 57-yarder. While Love and the first-team offense moved the ball for a brief 46 yards, it was the backups who struggled as they fell behind in the second half. The game is part of an ongoing evaluation for the Packers as they look to address recent issues at the kicking position.
