"The Commanders had little time to prepare for their trip to the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football. There were some things to clean up, so it's a journey into the unknown with no real practice time. But make no mistake, beating an NFC playoff rival on the road would be a statement that proves Washington's sensational run in 2024 wasn't just a fleeting moment of joy."
"Despite Christian Watson still working his way back from injury, the Packers have some outstanding receiver weapons for quarterback Jordan Love to depend upon. Jayden Reed is their slot demon, Romeo Doubs provides a downfield threat, and Matthew Golden is their rookie phenom capable of impacting proceedings all over the field. The Commanders' secondary must be ready. They did a tremendous job of containing the Giants' wideouts in Week 1. This represents a tougher test entirely."
Rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt starred in Week 1, but cornerback Trey Amos could be the decisive contributor in Week 2. The Commanders face the Green Bay Packers on short preparation time and must limit a strong passing attack. The Packers still feature Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs and rookie Matthew Golden as reliable targets for Jordan Love despite Christian Watson's recovery. Washington's secondary performed well against the Giants, yet the matchup presents a greater challenge with Marshon Lattimore leading the unit. Amos showed promise in the preseason and debut but needs clear improvement in coverage to contain Green Bay's receivers.
