If Week 2 is anything to go on, then it’s Super Bowl or bust. With a star quarterback playing mistake-free football and a roster that looks deeper and meaner than it has in years, Green Bay’s 2-0 start has ignited serious championship talk. Thursday night’s prime-time domination of the Washington Commanders didn’t just secure another win. It elevated expectations to the highest possible level.</p><h2><b>Packers back up Week 1 statement with TNF demolition</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Jordan-Love_24bf72.jpg"><figcaption>Jeff Hanisch-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Packers look every bit like a Super Bowl contender if they keep playing the way they did on Thursday night against the Commanders. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/detroit-lions/lions-most-to-blame-for-humbling-week-1-loss-to-packers">After dismantling the Detroit Lions</a> in Week 1, Green Bay backed it up just five days later. They took down a Washington squad that reached the NFC Championship Game earlier this year. <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/401772936/commanders-packers">The 27-18 victory</a> was a resounding confirmation that the Packers’ early dominance is no fluke. They showed an explosive offense and a defense that operated at a completely different speed than its opponent.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-jordan-love-truck-sticks-commanders-defender">Jordan Love led the charge</a> with 292 passing yards and two touchdowns. He repeatedly found tight end Tucker Kraft, who hauled in six catches for 124 yards and a score. On defense, Micah Parsons’ stat line showed only a half-sack. However, his influence went far beyond the numbers. His relentless disruption helped fuel a four-sack night for Green Bay. Meanwhile, the secondary locked down Washington’s receivers and stifled Jayden Daniels’ ability to extend plays. The result was a performance that looked every bit like the blueprint of a championship team.</p><p>Here we’ll try to look at and discuss why the Green Bay Packers are in Super Bowl or bust mode after bullying Commanders on TNF.</p><h2><b>Parsons leads overwhelming pass rush</b></h2><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-micah-parsons-sets-super-bowl-expectation">Parsons’ arrival has reshaped</a> this Packers defense. Thursday night was the latest evidence. Washington has seen plenty of Parsons from his days in Dallas. The nightmare continued this week. Parsons now has 11 sacks in nine career games against them.</p><p>That said, limiting Parsons’ dominance to sack numbers misses the bigger picture. Even on a snap count, he generated holding penalties, disrupted blocking schemes, and created constant havoc in the backfield. The Commanders tried everything. The result? Rashan Gary and Devonte Wyatt picked up a sack apiece, while Edgerrin Cooper, Karl Brooks, and Barryn Sorrell each split sacks.</p><p>The pass rush didn’t just produce highlight plays. It erased Washington’s offense. Daniels, known for his mobility, managed only 17 rushing yards. Washington finished with just 51 yards on the ground, making their offense one-dimensional. Daniels’ 4.8 yards per attempt marked the lowest in a full game of his young career.</p><h2><b>Love, Kraft spearhead big-play offense</b></h2><p>On the other side of the ball, Jordan Love looked every bit the quarterback capable of leading a Super Bowl contender. He connected on eight passes of 15 or more yards, spreading them across five different receivers. Kraft was his favorite target. He made three explosive plays and reminding the league why he’s one of the most versatile tight ends in football. His blend of yards-after-catch ability and downfield separation kept drives alive and demoralized Washington defenders.</p><p>Love’s poise and efficiency stood out. He has now gone nine straight starts without throwing an interception. That tied Aaron Rodgers for the second-longest streak by a Packers quarterback since 1950. That stat isn’t just trivia. It’s an indicator of winning football. Green Bay is 13-4 in Love’s starts when he avoids interceptions. His ability to protect the football while still pushing it downfield has made this Packers offense both dangerous and dependable.</p><p>What makes this even scarier is that Green Bay hasn’t fully clicked yet. The running game has been sluggish, and the passing attack still has stretches of inconsistency. That said, they’ve put up 27 points in each of their first two games against defenses that ranked among the NFL’s best last season.</p><h2><b>Beating elite teams, leaving no excuses</b></h2><p>Green Bay’s 2-0 record isn’t inflated by soft opponents as well. Recall that the Lions went 15-2 in 2024. The Commanders reached the NFC title game. Combined, those teams went 27-7 last season. The Packers not only beat them—they manhandled them.</p><p>Green Bay’s cornerbacks, often considered the weak link, were nearly flawless also. According to Pro Football Focus, Keisean Nixon, Nate Hobbs, and Carrington Valentine combined to allow one catch on 10 targets for a measly seven yards. That’s suffocating coverage, enabled by the relentless pass rush up front.</p><p>Parsons summed it up best: “Defense wins championships. J-Love, I think you give us 20 points, we should be able to win that game.”</p><p>He may not be wrong.</p><h2><b>The only team that can beat the Packers might be the Packers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Did-Jordan-Loves-strong-2025-debut-vs.jpg"></figure><p>Matt LaFleur has to be thrilled but also maybe a little wary. His team is not just beating top competition. They are doing so with room to grow. That’s a blessing, but also a challenge. If the Packers can clean up their offensive inefficiencies and stay healthy, there’s no ceiling on this roster.</p><p>The danger is complacency. When you dominate two of the NFC’s best to start the season, it’s easy to assume the road to the Super Bowl will be straightforward. However, in the NFL, adversity always comes. Injuries, off nights, and playoff pressure will test Green Bay’s resilience.</p><p>Still, the first two weeks have been a thunderous announcement: the Packers are back, and they’re here to conquer. After Thursday night, there’s no way around it: this is a Super Bowl-or-bust season in Green Bay.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He is expected to be back at some point this season as well.</p><p>The Packers’ offense has been solid to start the season, as they’ve scored 27 points in both Week 1 and Week 2. Jordan Love has been delivering the ball to his receivers at an efficient clip, and it’s allowed them to score at will. Against the Commanders, it was tight end Tucker Kraft who led the team in receiving with 124 yards.</p><p>Not only have the Packers been clicking on offense, but their defense has been strong as well, and it’s obvious the addition of Micah Parsons is making a difference. As of now, it looks like the Packers will be a team to look out for this season, and once they get Reed and Watson on the field, they could be even more dangerous on offense.</p><p>As of now, Love will have to continue to spread the wealth across the receiver room.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Green Bay went from around +1800 to +2000 odds to win the SB to now sitting at +750, tied for the second-best odds in the league.</p><p>Here are the Top 5 <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/nfl?tab=super-bowl" rel="noopener">NFL odds</a> to win the Super Bowl according to FanDuel.</p><p>Buffalo Bills: +700</p><p>Philadelphia Eagles: +700</p><p>Baltimore Ravens: +700</p><p>Green Bay Packers: +750</p><p>Kansas City Chiefs: +1000</p><p>The Packers have a legit shot at winning the NFC North division. They are already 1-0 against the Detroit Lions, and a win against an NFC contender in Washington is valuable as well. The Packers already have two key wins in the conference, and if they take care of business in their division, they will be set up for success come winter.</p><p>The schedule for GB is not easy. They will take on the defending champs in Week 10 for a MNF battle. GB will also face the entire AFC North division, which has been a gauntlet the last few seasons. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-what-did-matt-lafleur-think-jordan-love-truck-stick">Head coach Matt LaFleur</a> will have this team building off their great start. Putting down a future bet on the Packers to win the Super Bowl with this value may be the best you get all season long.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

There’s a reason why <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-micah-parsons-sets-super-bowl-expectation">Micah Parsons has Super Bowl expectations for the Packers</a>. They’re coming out of the gates blazing with a 2-0 start, beating the Commanders after their 27-13 season-opening win against the Detroit Lions.</p><p>While <a href="https://x.com/OptaSTATS/status/1966358731274260686" rel="noopener">dominating both ends of the ball</a>, the Packers became the first team in NFL history to notch 4+ sacks, allow 60 rushing yards or less, and allow 200 net passing yards or less, per Optima Stats’ X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>The Packers allowed only 51 rushing yards and 179 passing yards from the Commanders. Green Bay also finished with four sacks as the Packers’ defense limited the Commanders from finding a consistent rhythm on offense. For many, the addition of linebacker Micah Parsons has changed the complexion of their defense for the better since the veteran was traded from the Dallas Cowboys.</p><p>After Thursday’s win, Parsons revealed he believes the Packers, if they remain consistent throughout the 2025 NFL season, are good enough to reach the Super Bowl, he said during his postgame interview with Amazon Prime.</p><p>“I think we can do great things, but at the end of the day, as you all know, it just goes week by week,” Parsons said. “We got to consistently put that effort, that energy every week, and then great things could happen.

At one point in the Packers-Commanders game, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-jordan-love-truck-sticks-commanders-defender">Love lowered his shoulder instead of stepping out of bounds</a>. The play drew cheers from fans and sparked conversation afterward. Many expected head coach Matt LaFleur to want his quarterback to avoid that kind of contact. Instead, the reaction from LaFleur might surprise some.</p><p>Asked after the game if he had heard anything from Matt LaFleur, Jordan Love shared exactly <a href="https://x.com/JFowlerESPN/status/1966380289304789122" rel="noopener">what his coach thought</a>. “He loved it,” Love said with a smile when asked about the hit. For the Packers, it was an unusual but thrilling display of toughness from their young leader. LaFleur’s approval showed the confidence he has in his quarterback, even when Love risks taking on defenders. The Commanders player who absorbed the hit learned quickly that Love was not going to slide on that play.</p><p>The decision added energy to the sideline. Teammates jumped up as Love fought for extra yards, and it reinforced the idea that he is willing to set a tone beyond his passing. For Matt LaFleur, it symbolized the kind of grit he wants the Packers to embrace. Love has often been praised for his poise in the pocket and his ability to command the offense. Against the Commanders, however, he reminded everyone that he can also bring a physical edge.</p><p>Still, the question lingers on whether LaFleur would encourage that same choice every week. Quarterbacks face risks when they absorb direct hits, and the Packers know Love is too important to lose to injury.</p><p>Yet the moment showed that in the heat of competition, even coaches appreciate the spark a bold play can provide. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/washington-commanders/commanders-news-bobby-wagner-defense-packers">The Packers left the field with a memorable highlight</a>, a supportive coach, and a quarterback who sent a clear message. Jordan Love is not afraid to lower his shoulder, even against the Commanders.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Jayden Reed <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-jayden-reed-out-6-8-weeks-broken-collerbone">officially suffered a fractured collarbone</a> on Thursday Night Football against the Washington Commanders.</p><p>Reed is <a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1966355005042208908" rel="noopener">expected to miss six to eight weeks</a>, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport. Given the timeline, Reed is already letting fans know that <a href="https://x.com/JaydenReed5/status/1966390509569511568" rel="noopener">his season is not over.</a></p><p>“I’ll be back 🙏🏽,” Reed posted on X early Friday morning. If all goes well, a six-week absence could bring Reed back as early as Week 8 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. If the receiver takes <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-jayden-reed-miss-lot-time-broken-collarbone">the full eight weeks to recover,</a> he could be looking at a return in Week 10 against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football.</p><p>Regardless, it’ll be a tough loss for the Packers, who are already <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-christian-watson-lands-13-5-million-contract-amid-injury-rehab">without receiver Christian Watson</a>. He suffered a torn ACL in the 2024 regular-season finale but is expected to return sometime this season.</p><p>Reed’s absence will raise some questions in Green Bay’s receiving room. In each of the last two seasons, he’s led the Packers in both receptions and receiving yards. Without a doubt, Reed is one of Jordan Love’s favorite targets when on the field. Now, a collection of receivers will be required to step up during his recovery.</p><h2><b>Who will Jordan Love target with Reed out?</b></h2><p>One of the answers quickly revealed itself during Thursday’s game against the Commanders. After two catches in Week 1, tight end Tucker Kraft exploded for six receptions, 124 yards, and one touchdown. He was second on the team in receiving yards in 2024, meaning he’s likely to be one of Love’s favorite targets without Reed.</p><p>As for the answers at wide receiver, Romeo Doubs is a proven commodity for Love. He’s surpassed 600 yards in each of the last two seasons. Third-year man Dontayvion Wicks has a similar chemistry with the quarterback, recording more than 400 receiving yards since Love stepped in as the starter.</p><p>The biggest opportunity comes for rookie Matthew Golden. The Packers’ 2025 first-round pick received immense <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-jordan-love-most-impressive-newcomer">praise this offseason from both teammates</a> and coaches, but he’s only recorded two catches for 16 yards in his first two games.</p><p>Getting Golden involved will likely be the best solution to replace Reed’s production. However, Kraft, Doubs, and Wicks will also be reliable targets for Love as the Packers play the next six to eight games without their top receiver.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Even while playing fewer snaps than usual, the former DPOY made his presence known multiple times against Jordan Love. Against the Washington Commanders, Parsons was finally fully unleashed, and Packers fans saw how disruptive he could be.</p><p>Parsons may have had only half of a sack credited to him, but <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-micah-parsons-message-snap-count-fear-opponents">anyone watching the Packers-Commanders game could tell his impact on defense.</a> Commanders QB Jayden Daniels was never comfortable in the pocket, as Parsons was always breathing down his neck. If it wasn’t Parsons, it was someone else on the defensive line clawing at him, freed up by the gravity of their star pass rusher.</p><p>New York Giants rookie Abdul Carter <a href="https://x.com/1NCRDB1/status/1966467722964808025" rel="noopener">had an awesome reaction</a> to the Micah Parsons show. Posting to X, the pass rusher said that, “RUSHERS are the new QB, we impact the game &amp; winning just as much!! Micah proved it last night!”</p><p>Daniels was pressured 21 times against the Packers, contributing heavily to the Commanders’ struggles on offense. The Packers’ pass rush got home only a handful of times (four sacks on Daniels), but their presence was enough to bother the young quarterback. It also helped that the Packers’ secondary was able to lock down the Commanders’ passing attack, giving enough time for their pass rushers to win their assignments.</p><p>The Packers had a clear game plan coming into the Commanders game. Considered as one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in the NFL, Daniels also struggled to run against Green Bay’s defense. When the pass rush got to him, the Packers were able to swarm the quarterback as soon as he started to take off.</p><p>With<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-jayden-reed-out-6-8-weeks-broken-collerbone"> Jayden Reed missing at least a month and a half due to a broken collarbone</a> and the Packers’ offensive line still injured, the Packers defense needs to step up big time. With Parsons wreaking havoc on their opponents, the offense should have enough breathing room to get comfortable.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Early in the game, wide receiver <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/packers-jayden-reed-likely-to-miss-6-8-weeks-after-breaking-collarbone-vs-commanders">Jayden Reed exited the game after landing awkwardly on his shoulder.</a> It was clear from the few shots of Reed that Reed was in serious pain.</p><p>Now, the official diagnosis for Reed has been released… and it’s not good for the Packers. Green Bay announced that Jayden Reed <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/packers-jayden-reed-likely-to-miss-6-8-weeks-after-breaking-collarbone-vs-commanders" rel="noopener">will miss six to eight weeks</a> due to his injury, a broken collarbone. It’s a tough development for a team that’s already missing one of their standout receivers.</p><p>Reed caught a 39-yard touchdown pass during the first quarter against the Commanders. Reed was slow to get up after the play, grimacing in pain. The Packers wide receiver was able to walk it off on his own power, but it was clear that he was favoring his left side while jogging off the field. To make matters worse, the touchdown was called back due to an offensive holding penalty.</p><p>The Packers were able to power through Reed’s absence, thanks in large part to a combined effort from their skill positions. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-tucker-kraft-career-high-tnf-first-half-commanders">Tight end Tucker Kraft had a career-best 124 yards on six catches and a touchdown</a>. Romeo Doubs caught a touchdown as well, while Dontayvion Wicks had the most yards by a wide receiver with 44 yards on four catches.<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-tucker-kraft-offense-5-headed-dragon-after-career-night"> Seven different players were targeted by Jordan Love</a> (19/31, 292 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INT), with Matthew Golden the only targeted player with no catches;</p><p>Reed will join WR Christian Watson on the Packers’ list of pass-catchers who are still on the mend. Watson is still rehabbing from an ACL injury he suffered last season. He’s currently on Green Bay’s Physically Unable to Perform list. As a result, Watson will miss the first four weeks of the 2025 season at best.</p><p>The Packers have a relatively easy schedule for the next two or three weeks, at least. They face off against the Cleveland Browns next week, then they’re headed to Dallas for Micah Parsons’ revenge game against Dallas. After that, they face another relatively weak defense in the Cincinnati Begals.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They were dominated in Lambeau Field. The Washington Commanders have one of the most dynamic young quarterbacks in the league in Jayden Daniels. He averaged a measly 4.8 yards per pass attempt on Thursday night in, you guessed it, Lambeau Field. The Green Bay Packers are winning games and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-micah-parsons-aura-matt-lafleur-full-gen-x">exuding a powerful aura</a> two weeks into the season, and newcomer Micah Parsons is one of the key reasons why.</p><p>The fantastic pass-rusher once again left his imprint on the field for the Green and Gold, as the Packers rolled to a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/washington-commanders/commanders-news-stat-packers-pass-rush-unlike-anything-jayden-daniels-seen">27-18 victory over the Commanders</a>. He joined forces with Edgerrin Cooper to record a crucial sack on third-and-3 in the beginning of the third quarter, which led to an <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/washington-commanders/commanders-news-matt-gay-thursday-night-loss">unsuccessful 52-yard Matt Gay field goal attempt</a>. Parsons also tallied an outstanding eight total pressures, keeping Daniels and Washington’s offensive line on their heels throughout the night.</p><p>This was hardly a one-man show, though. Cooper once again led Green Bay in tackles (10 combined), the defense posted four total sacks, Jordan Love shined with 292 passing yards and two touchdowns, tight end Tucker Kraft found the end zone for the second time in five days and running back Josh Jacobs scored a rushing TD in his 11th consecutive game. It is early, but the Packers look excellent. Micah Parsons might have been the missing link to a championship-caliber squad.</p><h2><b>Parsons and the Packers have set a mighty high standard</b></h2><p>Although the two-time First-Team All-Pro and 2023 Second-Team All-Pro does not want Green Bay to get ahead of itself, he is quite confident in this group. Fans have compared him to all-time great defensive end Reggie White, who helped the franchise win Super Bowl 31 after parting ways with the NFC East’s Philadelphia Eagles a few years earlier. Parsons knows how hard it is to match the legacy the Minister of Defense crafted, but he <a href="https://x.com/ClutchPoints/status/1966369821693726963" rel="noopener">hopes to have a similarly transformative impact</a> in Titletown, USA.</p><p>“I think we can do great things, but at the end of the day, as you all know, it just goes week by week,” the 26-year-old told the Amazon Prime postgame panel. “We got to consistently put that effort, that energy every week and then great things could happen.

When that happens, it is hard to blame fans for setting their sights on the Lombardi Trophy.</p><p>Like No. 1 said, however, there is a long way to go. Green Bay will try to stay hot when it plays its first road game of the campaign next Sunday, an afternoon matchup versus the Cleveland Browns.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While Green Bay’s defense looks much-improved by Micah Parsons’ presence, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-jordan-love-truck-sticks-commanders-defender">offense looked sharp</a> against Washington.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-tucker-kraft-career-high-tnf-first-half-commanders">Tucker Kraft set a new career high</a> in receiving yards in the first half of Thursday’s matchup alone. The third-year tight end would go on to lead all pass catchers with 124 yards and a touchdown. After the game, Kraft discussed the <a href="https://x.com/mattschneidman/status/1966357786767262083" rel="noopener">many weapons</a> quarterback Jordan Love has at his disposal.</p><p>“With all the playmakers that we have on our offense, you might as well just call us the five-headed dragon,” Kraft noted, per The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman.</p><h2><b>Tucker Kraft leads the way in Packers’ Week 2 win</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Tucker-Kraft-2.jpg"><figcaption>Mark Hoffman-USA TODAY Network via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>“We’ve got depth at wide receiver. You saw guys make critical catches today. You had Malik Heath, that toe tap. Wicks, coming back to the ball in that two minute drill before the half. Just a bunch of dogs, man. And I’m happy they’re on my side,’ Kraft added.</p><p>Love spread the ball around, getting six different Packers’ pass catchers involved. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-new-angle-shows-malik-heaths-unreal-catch-vs-commanders">Heath made an unbelievable grab</a> in the first half and Romeo Doubs pulled down Love’s other touchdown pass. But Dontayvion Wicks was the Packers’ second-leading receiver with four catches for 44 yards.</p><p>Unfortunately Green Bay’s leading receiver from last season left the game early with an injury. It was later revealed that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-jayden-reed-miss-lot-time-broken-collarbone">Jayden Reed broke his collarbone</a> while fighting for a touchdown on a penalty-negated play. The third-year wideout could be sidelined for a significant chunk of the season with the injury.</p><p>With Reed out, Kraft dominated for the Packers. He finished with a team-high seven targets and six receptions. The 24-year-old tight end hauled in his second score of the season after snagging a touchdown in the opener.</p><p>While the Packers’ offense once again played well, the defense was key. Green Bay held Jayden Daniels to 24/42 passing for 200 yards and two touchdowns. The Commanders could only muster 51 rushing yards in the game. With the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-micah-parsons-message-snap-count-fear-opponents">Packers planning to end Parsons’ snap count</a>, Green Bay’s defense could be a problem this season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
