Coming off a Week 1 divisional win over the New York Giants, the Washington Commanders (1-0) are kicking off Week 2 of the NFL season with a Thursday Night Football game against the Green Bay Packers (1-0) at Lambeau Field. Both teams are operating on a short week after achieving divisional wins in Week 1.
The teams are both vastly different from their last matchup three years ago, and one name could be the difference maker that gives the Packers the edge: Micah Parsons.
Game planning around the All-Pro pass-rusher isn't something new to the Commanders, although that doesn't make stopping him any easier. Parsons is a game wrecker -- he has more sacks against Washington (10.5) than any other opponent he's faced -- and got to quarterback Jayden Daniels 4.5 times in two matchups last season
