The first week of the 2025 NFL season is in the books. With a loaded slate of games, it brought all the thrills and spills of a new football season. Simply put, football is back and better than ever. However, fans don’t have to wait too long for another potential classic in the making. To begin Week 2, the Thursday Night Football game is going to feature two teams with legitimate Super Bowl aspirations from the NFC square off.
After both squads made the playoffs last year, the Washington Commanders and the Green Bay Packers are hoping to take another major step forward this year. Starting 1-0, they will look to tighten their vice grip on the conference early in a new season. Here’s how fans can catch all the action when the Commanders travel to Titletown for a TNF extravaganza.

What’s at Stake for Commanders and Packers?
For Washington, the aim has to be to take a step forward from their historic turnaround last year. Going from four wins to the NFC Championship Game, Jayden Daniels flipped the franchise’s fortunes on its head.
The organization responded in kind, making moves to improve his receiving core, offensive line, and defense. In Week 1, those improvements were on full display as the Commanders cruised to a 21-6 victory over the New York Giants.
On the other hand, the Packers have gone to the playoffs in consecutive years with Jordan Love standing behind center. This year, they would have been hoping to take the next step into becoming a legitimate Super Bowl contender.
Those aspirations very quickly turned into expectations when Green Bay pulled off the biggest blockbuster trade of the summer by adding Micah Parsons from the Dallas Cowboys. His arrival preceded an electric debut game.

Standing against the Detroit Lions, the Packers dominated en route to a 27-13 victory. They thoroughly outplayed one of the premier teams in the NFL on both sides of the football.
Parsons, who played in less than 50% of the snaps on defense, will hope to continue adding to the stat sheet. After registering a singular sack on Jared Goff last week, the four-time Pro Bowler will be hoping to recreate his success on Daniels from last season, when he had four sacks on the superstar dual-threat QB.
