Keys to the Game: Green Bay must fence in Washington QB

And we’re off and running.

The Green Bay Packers open their season by hosting the Detroit Lions in Week 1, and just four days later, they will take on the Washington Commanders in Week 2.

There’s no time to dwell on the previous game, the Packers will play on Thursday Night Football against a team that played for the conference championship a season ago.

Green Bay opens the 2025 season at home against the Detroit Lions.

Packers’ offense vs. Lions’ defense

At this time a year ago, you likely could not find a unit that was flying higher than Green Bay’s offense.

The finish to the 2023 regular season and 48-point barrage in the postseason gave the Packers a ton of confidence going into the 2024 season.
