Packers Aiming For 2-0 Start

Following a season in which it went 1-5 in divisional games, Green Bay opened its 2025 campaign with a 27-13 win against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

The Packers raced out to a 10-0 lead after the first quarter and led 17-3 at the break. The teams battled to a 10-10 stalemate in the second half, as Green Bay knocked off the division champs by two touchdowns.

Jordan Love went 16 of 22 for 188 yards and two touchdowns. Josh Jacobs ran for 66 yards on 19 carries and had one touchdown.

Washington Looks To Stay Hot Against Green Bay

Coming off a disappointing showing in the NFC title game, the Commanders kicked off their season with a dominant 21-6 win against the New York Giants.

Washington led 14-3 at the break on its way to an easy double-digit victory. And thanks to a defense that allowed just 231 total yards, the outcome was never in doubt.

Jayden Daniels finished 19 of 30 for 233 yards and a touchdown. Jacory Croskey-Merritt accumulated 82 rushing yards on 10 carries along with one touchdown. Deebo Samuel hauled in seven catches totaling 77 yards.
