"The Washington Commanders did not have a positive outing in Week 2, losing to the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football. They looked like a completely different team from the rest of the Jayden Daniels era, with the offense stagnant and the defense inconsistent at best. For a team that entered the season with legitimate Super Bowl aspirations, it was less than ideal. But it does beg the question: did the result say more about the Commanders, or the Packers?"
"For the Commanders, those two teams are the New York Giants and the Detroit Lions. The Giants - who Washington held to six points in Week 1 - exploded offensively against the Dallas Cowboys in another NFC East rivalry game. Though Dallas ultimately won in overtime, this was a completely different Giants team than the one the Commanders played. Russell Wilson looked like his old self, passing for 450 yards and three touchdowns."
The Washington Commanders lost to the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football, with an anemic offense and an inconsistent defense under Jayden Daniels. The loss raised concerns given preseason Super Bowl expectations, but Week 2 results suggest the outcome reflected Green Bay's strength more than Washington's weakness. Week 2 offered broader context by revealing variations in teams' performances; the New York Giants, held to six points by Washington in Week 1, exploded offensively against the Cowboys, and the Detroit Lions, beaten by Green Bay in Week 1, dismantled the Bears. Those results temper judgment of the Commanders' early form.
