The schedule makers sure didn’t ease the Packers into the 2025 season. Fresh off facing the 2024 NFC North champs, the Packers are now set to play host to the 2024 NFC runners-up.

In the first year of the Dan Quinn/Jayden Daniels era in Washington, the Commanders put up an impressive 12-5 record, including a win over the eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.

Sure, the Eagles got the last laugh in pretty dramatic fashion, putting 55 points on the Commanders to earn a Super Bowl berth, but that’s not the point. The Commanders fast-tracked their Daniels and Quinn-led rebuild, and now are looking to run their 2025 record to 2-0.

Of course, the Packers have a bit to say about that, and will no doubt look to introduce Daniels to his old NFC East rival Micah Parsons as often as possible. Parsons is quite familiar with Daniels, for that matter: in two games against Washington last year, Parsons sacked Daniels 4.5 times.

And with the Commanders’ offensive line sporting rookie Josh Conerly at right tackle, I’m sure Parsons would love to add to that number.

Daniels has a decent supporting cast, but he’s pretty much the whole show.

Parsons has the speed to stick with pretty much any quarterback you can find.

Evidently, lots of people were interested in seeing what Parsons would bring to the Packers!

It’ll be a whiteout for the Packers at Lambeau on Thursday, but I refuse to call them the “Winter Warning” uniforms. It’s white cheddar or nothing.

There is nothing I can add to this headline.
