Commanders and Packers will have better idea of where they stand in NFC after Thursday night matchup

Two playoff teams from last season get an early measure of where they stand in the NFC as the Washington Commanders visit the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night. The Packers beat the two-time defending NFC North champion Detroit Lions 27-13, while the Commanders defeated the New York Giants 21-6. Washington is seeking to build on its breakthrough from a year ago, when quarterback Jayden Daniels’ spectacular rookie season helped the Commanders go 14-6 and reach the NFC championship game.
