When the Green Bay Packers welcome the Washington Commanders to Lambeau Field for a Thursday night matchup, it won’t just be another game under the primetime lights. It will be the latest chapter in a storied history between the two franchises that stretches back more than 90 years.
The first meeting between these two teams dates all the way back to 1932, just five days after Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected president. Back then, Washington was still the Boston Braves, and the Packers shut them out 21-0. Four years later, the two teams met on an even bigger stage: the 1936 NFL Championship.
