Defending two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson and future Pro Football Hall of Famer Derrick Henry is a tall task. Jackson is a much more slippery rusher and scrambler to defend against than the bruising Hurts, and his ability to evade defenders will be the difference in what will be Green Bay's first loss of the 2025 season.

A moment of silence was held before the Packers-Commanders game for Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist who was shot and killed at a college campus in Utah.

Jayden Reed, one of the top weapons in the Packers passing offense, suffered an injury, but the coaches are still optimistic they have other options.

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.
