Jordan Love threw for 292 yards and two touchdowns as the Green Bay Packers defeated the Washington Commanders 27-18 on Thursday Night Football at Lambeau Field on September 11, 2025. The victory moved Green Bay to 2-0 for the first time since 2020, with wins over two 2024 playoff teams in the opening two weeks of the season.
Tight end Tucker Kraft finished with a career-high 124 receiving yards on six catches, and the Packers outgained Washington by 174 yards on the night. Jayden Daniels went 24 of 42 for 200 yards and was sacked four times, with Green Bay pressuring him on 25 percent of his dropbacks. Micah Parsons, acquired from the Dallas Cowboys in a blockbuster trade just two weeks before the season opened, played 47 defensive snaps in just his second game in green and gold and generated eight pressures. Washington fell to 1-1 and left Lambeau with a significant injury report that included running back Austin Ekeler, who suffered a right Achilles injury in the fourth quarter, and defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr., who was carted off with a quadriceps injury in the second period.

Green Bay’s 27-18 victory on September 11, 2025 extended the Packers’ home winning streak over Washington to seven straight, with the Commanders having not won at Lambeau Field since 1986. The Packers carried a 2-0 record into a Week 3 road trip to Cleveland. Washington, dealing with injury questions at running back and along the defensive line following losses of Ekeler and Wise Jr., returned home to face Las Vegas on September 21.
