"Last year, the Lions won 15 games and the Commanders prevailed in 12 on their way to the NFC Championship Game. The Packers became just the fifth team in the Super Bowl era (since 1966) to win their first two games against teams that won 12 or more contests the previous season. This after going a combined 0-6 last season against the Lions, Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles."
"What to make of the QB performance: Just think of the yardage the Packers will pile up when Jordan Love connects on the deep balls. He missed Matthew Golden deep twice in the first half, yet he still had 214 yards passing through two quarters -- his most in the first half in his career and the most by any Packers quarterback since Aaron Rodgers in Week 4 of 2020 against the Falcons with 228 yards. Love finished with 292 yards."
Green Bay opened the season with consecutive home wins over the Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders, earning a 2-0 start for the first time since 2020. The Packers became the fifth team since 1966 to win their first two games against opponents that had at least 12 wins the prior season. Green Bay had gone a combined 0-6 against the Lions, Vikings and Eagles last season. Jordan Love passed for 214 first-half yards through two quarters and finished with 292 yards. Micah Parsons faced multiple double teams, recorded a half-sack and three QB hits, and drew an illegal-hands penalty. The Packers registered 12 hits on Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels.
