In a game that was all Packers from the jump, Green Bay took care of business at home, beating the Commanders 27–18 on Thursday night from Lambeau.

Tight end Tucker Kraft was the star of the show, hauling in six catches for 124 yards and a touchdown, while cornerback Keisean Nixon led the charge on defense with five pass breakups—holding Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels at bay.

On the flip side, the night was unfortunately marred by injuries to Washington’s Deatrich Wise Jr. and Austin Ekeler, as well as Green Bay wide receiver Jayden Reed.

After falling behind 17–3 midway through the third quarter, the Commanders did their best strike back in the final frame, but it ultimately wasn’t enough.

Jordan Love sealed the victory with a touchdown strike to Kraft, closing the door on Washington’s comeback hopes.

The Packers now improve to 2–0 on the season while the Commanders fall to 1–1. Each will now have a mini-bye before taking on the Browns and Raiders respectively in Week 3.
