Overview
- Jordan Love called every offensive play in the second half of Green Bay's preseason finale, and his play-calling guided the Packers to consecutive touchdown drives that flipped a 38-27 deficit into a 42-38 victory.
- The switch happened in the second half of the game on Saturday, Aug. 29, 2026, and culminated with a go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter.
- Backup Kyle McCord completed four touchdown passes in the game, with two of those scores occurring while Love was on the headset and calling plays after telling McCord at halftime he would take over.
- Head coach Matt LaFleur and teammates praised Love's calm, collected demeanor on the headset, calling the experiment 'pretty cool' and noting it showcased his grasp of the offense.
- Despite the successful test, Love will remain the Packers' starting quarterback entering the regular season and arrives at the year closing in on 100 career touchdown passes, while the club will monitor whether his headset role expands in future game plans.
