Packers and Commanders collide on Thursday Night Football at Lambeau Field in Week 2. Washington’s offense hinges on Jayden Daniels’ rushing ability and efficient passing in clean pockets, while Green Bay fights injuries on the line and eyes versatile coverage to slow Daniels. Nate Hobbs could return to bolster the secondary against Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel, and Washington’s defense, led by Miller and Ertz’s security catches, aims to pressure Love and salt away the game with a pounding run game led by Jacobs. A tight, high-leverage clash with a slight Packers edge projected at 28-24.

Packers’ edge rush and speed at linebacker should test Daniels, while injury-depleted O-line configurations force timely decisions in pass protection. Washington leans on youth and durability against a defense that has to balance containment with getting after the quarterback. The crowd at Green Bay and a short week could tilt things in favor of the home squad as consistency and execution win the trenches and decide the outcome.
