Sean Rhyan leads Packers offense in coming to Jordan Love's defense

Sean Rhyan made a point after protecting quarterback Jordan Love during a tense moment with the New York Jets. In Green Bay’s game at the goal line, Love scrambled for a touchdown and Jets linebacker Jamien Sherwood delivered a hit. Rhyan rushed over and shoved Sherwood’s shoulder pads, issuing a warning that he shouldn’t take shots at the quarterback. Two days later, the center still emphasized that players should avoid targeting QB heads. The context includes a prior incident: last year in Denver, safety Talanoa Hufanga shoved Love’s head and received an $11,533 NFL fine, with no on-field retaliation. Packers coach Matt LaFleur said no flag was needed and stressed smart, restrained responses.
