Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season is in the books, and it already gave fans plenty to talk about. Now Week 2 kicks off, and yes, there is a Thursday Night Football game tonight — and it’s a good one.
Who’s Playing on Thursday Night Football in Week 2?
The Washington Commanders head to Lambeau Field to take on the Green Bay Packers in a matchup that promises excitement, storylines, and a glimpse of what these teams might offer later in the season.
Both teams enter with momentum. The Packers are slight favorites at home, but the Commanders are coming off a strong Week 1 win and look ready to challenge anyone. The big questions: Can Washington’s rushing game stay effective against Green Bay’s defense? Will the Packers’ offense, led by Jordan Love, keep rolling? And can Micah Parsons make the defensive impact his new team hopes for?
The Packers opened with a 27-13 win over the Detroit Lions, dominating with timely stops, Parsons’ instant impact, and a balanced offense that scored early and often. With Love healthy and Parsons joining the defense, Green Bay has both confidence and firepower.
Who’s going 2-0 to start the season?

Fans are optimistic about the Packers’ chances of winning the NFC North, though a tough schedule and a competitive division will test them. Home-field advantage at Lambeau, combined with a defense that can disrupt both the run and the pass, gives them an edge. Still, the Commanders won’t make it easy.
For Washington, the 2025 season brings a new identity. Quarterback Jayden Daniels leads a revamped offense that now includes star wideout Deebo Samuel. The Commanders opened with a 21-6 win over the New York Giants, showing off a defense led by Daron Payne and an offense fueled by Samuel and Jacory Croskey-Merritt.
Even after trading Brian Robinson Jr. to the 49ers, the team hopes Daniels, Austin Ekeler, and its new additions can keep the momentum going.
Today’s game could offer a preview of January. Both teams are expected to bring their best, and this could be a postseason matchup down the road.
The atmosphere at Lambeau Field, combined with Thursday Night Football’s national spotlight, guarantees energy, drama, and key moments that could help set the tone for both teams’ seasons.
If you’re a football fan, tonight is a chance to see two talented teams go head-to-head, test their limits, and give fans a preview of what’s to come.
