The Green Bay Packers secured a 20-17 overtime victory against the New York Jets on September 20, 2026. Despite the win, the team's offensive line faced severe criticism after ranking last in pass block win rate at 18% through Week 2., the Packers allowed an alarming average time to pressure of just 2.36 seconds, another league-low mark. Jordan Love, the Packers' quarterback, was pressured throughout the game, finishing with only 145 passing yards. The team now faces urgent questions regarding its offensive line effectiveness, particularly following the injury to starting right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele.
