The Green Bay Packers steamrolled their way to a 2-0 start on the year. 27-18 was the final against the Washington Commanders, however, many analysts would agree that it wasn’t that close.
Green Bay looks like every bit of the Super Bowl contender they want to be. However, the team suffered a massive loss in their win.

Wide receiver Jayden Reed suffered a broken collarbone during the opening drive of Thursday’s 27-18 victory over the Washington Commanders:
“He’s going to miss a lot of time,” coach Matt LaFleur said. “We’ll see how fast he can recover and heal and certainly I would expect him back at some point this season, but obviously it’s a big blow to us. He’s a guy who’s a catalyst for our offense and our football team, quite frankly, the energy he brings, and he’s a dog.”
Reed was injured after he stretched out to catch what would have been a 39-yard touchdown if it hadn’t been wiped out because of a holding penalty on right tackle Anthony Belton.

Belton, a rookie second-round pick, was making his first career start because regular starter Zach Tom was inactive due to a hip injury suffered in Week 1 against the Detroit Lions.
Reed missed most of training camp because of a foot injury, but he led the Packers with three catches for 45 yards and a touchdown in the season opener despite playing just 18 snaps.
