Washington Commanders Player Stats
Passing — Jayden Daniels
| Player | CMP | ATT | YDS | TD | INT | RTG |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jayden Daniels | 24 | 42 | 200 | 2 | 0 | 85.4 |
Daniels finished under 60% completion for the first time in his young career. The Packers brought just four rushers most of the night — and it still worked. Their secondary stayed deep, took away the big play, and made Daniels work short all night.
He did find the end zone twice in the fourth quarter, but Washington was already down 17-3 by then.
- 24 of 42 for 200 yards
- 2 TDs (both in the 4th quarter)
- 0 INTs
- 7 rush attempts for just 17 yards
Rushing — Washington Commanders
| Player | CAR | YDS | TD |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jayden Daniels | 7 | 17 | 0 |
| Austin Ekeler | 8 | 17 | 0 |
| Jacory Croskey-Merritt | 4 | 17 | 0 |
Washington totaled just 51 rushing yards on 19 carries. That is 2.7 yards per carry. The Packers’ front stopped the run cold. Without a ground game, Daniels had no room to work.
Austin Ekeler also left the game in the fourth quarter with a right Achilles injury.

|---|---|---|---|
| Terry McLaurin | 5 | 48 | 0 |

| Luke McCaffrey | 1 | 19 | 0 |
| Ben Sinnott | 1 | 7 | 0 |
| Austin Ekeler | 2 | 7 | 0 |
Zach Ertz was Washington’s best weapon. He caught 6 passes for 64 yards and pulled in a 20-yard TD in the 4th quarter. Deebo Samuel added 7 grabs and a late score, but it was not enough.

| Jacob Martin | 3 | 2 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 |
Bobby Wagner led the team with 11 tackles. Dorance Armstrong got home for the only sack of Jordan Love. But Washington could not create enough stops when it mattered.
Green Bay Packers Player Stats
Passing — Jordan Love
| Player | CMP | ATT | YDS | TD | INT | RTG |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jordan Love | 19 | 31 | 292 | 2 | 0 | 113.9 |
Love was sharp all night. He went 19 of 31 — a clean 61.3% — and posted a 113.9 passer rating. This came without injured linemen Zach Tom and Aaron Banks.
Two long drives in the first half set the tone. Love scrambled 14 yards on third-and-9 on the first drive. He had a 57-yard shot to Kraft that set up the opening touchdown. He was in full control.
- 19 of 31 for 292 yards
- 2 TDs, 0 INTs
- 113.9 passer rating
Rushing — Green Bay Packers

| Jordan Love | 3 | 22 | 0 |
| Jacory Croskey-Merritt | 2 | 15 | 0 |
Green Bay totaled 137 rushing yards — nearly three times Washington’s total on the ground. Josh Jacobs had 84 yards on 23 carries and punched in a 2-yard TD run to cap a 92-yard drive.
This was also Jacobs’ 10th straight game with a touchdown — a new franchise record.

| Romeo Doubs | 2 | 20 | 1 |
| Josh Jacobs | 5 | 29 | 0 |
| Romeo Doubs | 2 | 20 | 1 |
Tucker Kraft was the story of the night. Six catches. 124 yards. One touchdown. That 124-yard game was a career high. His 57-yard catch on the first drive set up Green Bay’s opening score. His 8-yard TD in the fourth quarter slammed the door on Washington’s comeback.
Defense — Green Bay Packers
| Player | TOT | SOLO | SACKS | TFL | QB HITS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Micah Parsons | — | — | 0.5 | — | 3 |
| De’Vondre Campbell | — | — | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Micah Parsons, in only his second game as a Packer after the blockbuster trade from Dallas, had half a sack and three quarterback hits. The Packers held Washington to just 230 total yards, 15 first downs, and a 5-of-16 third-down conversion rate.
The defense was the real MVP of this game.

Key Moments That Decided the Game
Green Bay’s Two-Score First Half
The Packers opened with back-to-back drives of 96 and 92 yards. Washington gained just 11 yards in the entire first quarter. Love scrambled, hit Kraft deep, and the Packers built a 14-0 lead before Washington even found a rhythm.
The Malik Heath Catch — Green Bay Challenge Overturned
On Green Bay’s second TD drive, Malik Heath made a 37-yard sideline catch that the officials first ruled incomplete. Green Bay challenged. The call was overturned. Two plays later, Jacobs scored. Without that reversal, the game might have felt different.
Micah Parsons’ Lambeau Debut
Only his second game in green and gold, Parsons had 3 quarterback hits and shared a sack. He also kept Daniels from scrambling freely — something very few defenders can do. The Packers got him for this exact reason.
Fourth Quarter Injuries — Washington Takes More Hits
Austin Ekeler left with a right Achilles injury. That is a potentially serious loss for the Commanders’ backfield. Deatrich Wise Jr. was carted off for a quad injury in the second quarter. WR Noah Brown and TE John Bates also left with groin issues.
On the Green Bay side, WR Jayden Reed broke his collarbone on a 33-yard catch that was wiped out by penalty. Coach Matt LaFleur said he would miss “quite some time.”

Lambeau Field Dominance
Green Bay has now won seven straight home games against Washington. The Commanders have not won at Lambeau since 1986 — nearly four decades ago.
Washington’s biggest ever win in this series? A 30-0 shutout at home in 1949. Green Bay’s biggest? A 37-0 blowout at Lambeau in 2001.
Player Performances Worth Knowing
Tucker Kraft — Career Night
Kraft has quietly become one of the better young tight ends in the NFC. His 124-yard game against Washington was the biggest of his NFL life. The 57-yard play on the first drive showed his speed after the catch. His 8-yard TD in the fourth killed the comeback.
Josh Jacobs — Record Maker
Jacobs scored for the 10th game in a row — a new Green Bay franchise record. He was not flashy (84 yards on 23 carries is workmanlike), but he found the end zone when the Packers needed him most.
Bobby Wagner — Heart of Washington’s Defense
Wagner led all players with 11 tackles. At age 35, he is still one of the most reliable linebackers in the league. The Commanders’ defense gave up 404 yards total — but Wagner had his fingerprints on almost every big stop they did make.
Jayden Daniels — Off Night, But Not Out
Daniels was 24 of 42 for 200 yards. That is not a stat line that wins many games. But he threw zero interceptions, found Ertz and Samuel for late touchdowns, and kept Washington alive longer than the score suggests. Week 2 growing pains. He has shown he can bounce back.

What This Game Means Going Forward?
Green Bay went 2-0 to start 2025 — their best start since 2020. They beat two playoff teams from the prior year in the first two weeks. They look like genuine NFC title contenders.
Washington fell to 1-1. The injury list is growing. The offense looked out of sync without a running game. But this team went to the NFC Championship the year before. One bad road game does not define them.
Key things to watch:
- Can Ekeler come back? If not, how does Washington replace that dual-threat back?
- Does Jayden Reed’s injury hurt Green Bay’s passing attack in the coming weeks?
- Will Washington find a way to run the ball as the season goes on?
