Packers at Commanders: How to Watch, Stream, Listen, Bet
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Following back-to-back losses that have them on the outside of the way-too-early NFC playoff race, the Green Bay Packers (3-3) will kick off a three-game road trip at the Washington Commanders (2-4) on Sunday at FedEx Field.
“We’re in a pretty bad predicament right now,” coach Matt LaFleur said after the game.
This is a huge week for the Packers – and that’s the Monday through Saturday part of it. There are schematic issues to sort out and the right side of the offensive line to fix. Really, the issues are here, there and everywhere. On Sunday, they’ll face a Commanders defense that ranks fourth in the league in sack percentage.
