Green Bay Packers Dominate Commanders in Thrilling NFC Showdown to Stay Undefeated
The Green Bay Packers extend their perfect start to the 2025 NFL season with a commanding 27-18 victory over Washington Commanders, fueled by Jordan Love's arm and a revamped defense featuring Micah Parsons.




Offensive Firepower Lights Up Lambeau Field
Quarterback Jordan Love delivered another MVP-caliber performance, completing 24-of-32 passes for 292 yards and 2 touchdowns. The Packers' offense showcased its versatility with:
- Josh Jacobs extending his rushing TD streak to 11 games
- Romeo Doubs' acrobatic 5-yard scoring catch
- Tucker Kraft's career-high 124 receiving yards including a 4th quarter TD
Defensive Dominance Anchors Victory
New acquisition Micah Parsons made his presence felt with:
- 0.5 sacks on Commanders QB Jayden Daniels
- 67% defensive snap participation
- Key pressures forcing two 4th quarter three-and-outs
"Our defense is setting the tone," Parsons stated post-game. "When we hold opponents under 20 points, we're unbeatable. Championship teams win in the trenches."
Injury Cloud Over Lambeau
Wide receiver Jaylen Reed suffered a broken collarbone during a nullified 1st quarter touchdown play. The injury could sideline the rookie sensation for 6-8 weeks, testing Green Bay's receiving depth.
Key Game-Changing Moments
Quarter | Play | Impact |
---|---|---|
2nd | Jacobs' 2-yard TD run | 14-0 lead |
4th | Kraft's 22-yard TD reception | Sealed victory |
4th | Parsons' critical 3rd down sack | Stopped Commanders rally |
Looking Ahead
The Packers face crucial road tests at Cleveland (Week 3) and Dallas (Week 4), where Parsons' anticipated full debut against his former team could become must-watch television. With back-to-back wins against 2024 playoff teams, Green Bay emerges as early NFC favorites.
