GREEN BAY, Wis. - Remember when the Green Bay Packers couldn't beat any playoff-caliber teams?
They took care of that twice in a matter of five days to start the season. They defeated the Washington Commanders on Thursday night at Lambeau Field after opening the season with a win over the Detroit Lions there Sunday.
Last year, the Lions won 15 games and the Commanders prevailed in 12 on their way to the NFC Championship Game. The Packers became just the fifth team in the Super Bowl era (since 1966) to win their first two games against teams that won 12 or more contests the previous season.
