The two NFC powerhouses will make history when they face off Thursday night at Lambeau Field.It will be the first time that the Washington Commanders and Green Bay Packers play one another on Thursday night. A quirky fact.Thursday Night Football (TNF) was first introduced by the NFL in 2006. While not around forever, it has been a regular part of the schedule for nearly 20 years.Of course, not every team has played in that primetime slot, but it’s interesting that Washington and Green Bay haven’t met there.They are not in the same division but are in the same conference and have played each other nine times, including one postseason game, since TNF came into existence.Overall, the Packers hold a 22-17-1 advantage over the Commanders.Washington won the most recent meeting in 2023 but hasn’t won at Lambeau Field since 1986, and in Green Bay since 1988.Jayden Daniels is set to make his Lambeau Field debut, looking to change the team’s fortunes against the Packers. Building on last year’s historic rookie season, he led his team to a comfortable 21-6 Week 1 victory over the New York Giants.Meanwhile, Jordan Love and Green Bay are also coming off one of the most impressive performances in Week 1 when they dismantled the Detroit Lions, 27-13.Thursday night could very well be a preview of the NFC title game come January.The Commanders see themselves as true Super Bowl contenders, on par with any team in the league.On the flip side, the Packers believe there are no limits for them—especially after adding All-Pro Micah Parsons to the defense.Daniels outplayed the Giants to put the Commanders 1-0 on the seasonGettyLove and Parsons have Green Bay as one of the NFC favoritesGettyIn an exclusive interview with talkSPORT play-by-play announcer Will Gavin, Packers defensive end Rashan Gary shared his thoughts on the outlook of their season.Gavin asked Gary if he believed the defense could be one of the best in the league. Gary didn’t hesitate.“Absolutely,” the 2024 Pro Bowler said. “Especially for our defensive unit, everybody feels like the sky’s the limit.“Going out there and putting those performances out there, that’s something that we expect of ourselves. And we just gotta keep holding the standard and go 1-0 every week.”Daniels and the Washington offense will present a new challenge for Gary, Parsons and the rest of Green Bay’s defense. Safe to say, Daniels is a little harder to bring down than Goff.The Packers enter the game as three-point favorites.NFL's Greatest......Ranking the top 10......Quarterbacks of all-time – Can anyone better Tom Brady?Wide receivers of all-time – Does Randy Moss or Jerry Rice come out on top?Running backs of all-time – Stacking Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, Emmitt Smith and moreTight ends of all-time – How does Travis Kelce compare?
