It fizzled almost as quickly as it started. After one hard-earned first down, the drive stalled when Jayden Daniels was sacked for a 10-yard loss on third down, Micah Parsons and Edgerrin Cooper combining to dump Washington's talented signal caller to the ground. On trotted Matt Gay, who missed his second field goal attempt in as many possessions.

Even though the Commanders looked lost against the Packers, Washington is still a good football team. Yes, the Commanders have the oldest roster in the NFL (28 years, 266 days) -- the oldest roster in the league since the 1997 49ers -- but there is enough talent to get Washington to one of the best seven teams in the NFC.

Commanders’ Wise is out for the season and team believes Ekeler tore his Achilles, AP source says
A person with knowledge of the players’ status tells The Associated Press that Washington Commanders defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. will miss the rest of the season after having surgery for a quadriceps injury.
Despite the 27-18 setback to the Green Bay Packers, the Washington Commanders have time and a blueprint to bounce back before Week 3.
Wise was injured in the first half of Green Bay’s 27-18 victory on Thursday night while trying to block an extra-point attempt.
Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed suffered a broken collarbone on the first series of the game vs the Commanders. What we know.
Washington signed Wise in free agency this offseason. The New England Patriots selected him in the fourth round, No. 131 overall in the 2017 NFL Draft. He won a Super Bowl with the Patriots in his second season with the team and played a total of eight years with New England.
Josh Jacobs powered in from two yards out to make it 13-0. Commanders defensive lineman Deatrich Wise Jr. got carted off after trying to block the extra point (which was successful), adding to Washington's woes. He was later ruled out with a quad injury.
