The Green Bay Packers defense all but shut down the Washington Commanders’ offense in the NFL’s first “Thursday Night Football” game of the season, going on to win the bruising matchup 27-18. Green Bay combined for 404 yards, while Washington totaled just 230 yards in a game that left each side with injuries.
Packers quarterback Jordan Love had a great showing, racking up 292 yards and two touchdowns, including a pass to Romeo Doubs that opened the scoring with four and a half minutes left in the first quarter. Running back Josh Jacobs also recorded 84 rushing yards and a touchdown that made him the first Packer to score a rushing touchdown in 10 consecutive games.
