Key Storylines and Matchups • Jordan Love vs. Commanders’ Pass Rush: Washington ranked top-five in pressure rate last season and will unleash Montez Sweat and Chase Young on an inexperienced Packers O-line. • Sam Howell’s Second-Year Leap: After flashing in Week 1, Howell faces an opportunistic Green Bay secondary led by Jaire Alexander. • Ground Control: Aaron Jones (hamstring/questionable) could open running lanes against a Commanders front that surrendered 130 rushing yards in the opener. Antonio Gibson and Brian Robinson Jr. will share touches for Washington. • Lambeau Advantage: The Packers are 10-2 in their last 12 prime-time home games. Field conditions are expected to be clear, 62°F, light winds—classic September Lambeau.
