Packers Move to 2-0 as Parsons Powers Defense in 27-18 Win Over Commanders

Micah Parsons’ arrival is elevating Green Bay’s defense, positioning a balanced Packers team as an early NFC contender.

Overview

  • Jordan Love went 19-of-31 for 292 yards and two touchdowns, and tight end Tucker Kraft posted six catches for 124 yards and a fourth-quarter score.
  • Green Bay held Washington to about 230 total yards, limited Jayden Daniels to 200 passing yards and 17 rushing, and recorded four sacks with Parsons adding three QB hits and a half-sack.
  • The Packers played without starting linemen Zach Tom and Aaron Banks, then lost receiver Jayden Reed to a right shoulder injury later diagnosed as a broken collarbone.
  • Washington’s Austin Ekeler exited in the fourth quarter with a non-contact Achilles injury and was immediately ruled out, capping a night of multiple Commanders injuries.
  • Parsons said doubts after the Dallas trade are fueling him, as the Cowboys reportedly hosted Jadaveon Clowney for pass-rush help and betting markets moved Green Bay to the NFC favorite.
