NFL 2025-2026 season

Packers 27 - 18 Commanders
A relatively comfortable victory for the Packers after a 14-0 lead the Commanders hung around just enough to give themselves hope, but it never really felt like an upset was on the cards. Jacobs extended his run of rushing TD's to 11 games, & had 23 carries for 84 yards which allowed Love to pock off his targets. Daniels didn't have the luxury of a ground game & his scrambling which is usually a strength, was kept in check with just 17 yard from 7 carries. The packers defence were swarming to the ball carrier all night the intensity was at a high level spurred on by a raucous crowd at Lambeau Field. Much will be made of the Micah Parson effect & it was a factor again, just half a sack he hit Daniels 8 times despite being occupied by 2 players throughout & not being fully integrated in the offence he causes chaos with Daniels needing to get passes off quicker than he would like. He is a slight build compared to many QB's, & showed great bravery. The *commanders rallied somewhat in the 4th quarter with 2 passing TD's from Daniels & a 2 point conversion when he found Luke McCaffrey in the back of the END Zone, the younger brother of Cristian. Kraft who had 6 receptions for 124 yards. Daniels was held to 200 yards passing, with 24 completions from 42 attempts. Love had 292 yards passing, with 19 completions from 31attempts. The big Tight End Tucker Kraft had a great night with 6 catches for 124 yards & a TD.
The Packers lost star WR Jayden Reed early with a broken collar bone & the Commanders RB Austin Ekeler left the game with a suspected Achilles injury.

One game in & I'm already resigned to the fact that this season will be one of rebuilding, even with an easier schedule a winning record never mind a Playoff berth seems a stretch for the Niners. Kittle on IR out for 4+ weeks, WR Jennings a doubt to start against the Saints & now Purdy set to miss 2 - 5 weeks with a toe injury.

Long way to go Boomer, anything can happen in this game. Keep the faith. Let's see how the season goes.
