Overview

  • Green Bay opened with wins over the Lions and Commanders to move to 2-0 and the top of the NFC North.
  • Safety Xavier McKinney said "it's just two games" and warned that many hot starts fizzle, citing last season's Saints.
  • Jordan Love has steered a productive offense while the defense shows early impact from the Micah Parsons trade.
  • Wide receiver Jayden Reed sustained a broken collarbone against Washington and is expected to miss extended time.
  • The Packers visit 0-2 Cleveland next for their first road game, facing a defense leading the NFL in yards allowed with Myles Garrett already at 3.5 sacks.
