Jordan Love threw for 292 yards and two touchdowns, and the Green Bay Packers defeated the Washington Commanders 27-18 on Thursday night.
Tight end Tucker Kraft caught six passes for a career-high 124 yards to help the Packers go 2-0 for the first time since 2020. Love and Kraft connected for an 8-yard touchdown with 8:57 left.
Love went 19 of 31. Love’s other touchdown pass was a 5-yarder to Romeo Doubs in the first quarter.
Washington (1-1) gained just 11 yards in the first quarter and didn’t reach the end zone until scoring a pair of touchdowns in the final period. This could be a costly defeat for the Commanders, as running back Austin Ekeler injured his right Achilles tendon in the fourth quarter and defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. was carted off the field with a quadriceps injury in the second period.
Jayden Daniels was 24 of 42 for 200 yards with touchdown passes of 20 yards to Zach Ertz and 10 yards to Deebo Samuel.
