In the pre-season, it is difficult to know what is real and what is simply a mirage.
Case in point: The Pittsburgh Steelers looked like a fluid and dangerous offense in exhibition games before crumbling versus the San Francisco 49ers in week one.
Both the starting and backup offensive and defensive lines impressed in the pre-season for the Packers, and when the real games started on Sunday, they backed it up.
Jordan Love may have been without one of his top receivers in Christian Watson – who is also the only true deep threat on the team – but the protection afforded to him by a stingy offensive line meant the new starter had all day to go through his reads throughout the game.
