Overreactions to Commanders' statement loss to the Packers should quiet down after what we learned on Sunday

The Packers were already a really good team, but trading for Micah Parsons just sent them over the edge as Super Bowl contenders. The Commanders looked like the team we expected to see in Week 1 when they beat the New York Giants, but it was a completely different story when they had to travel to Green Bay on a short week with not much rest or practice. The Packers looked like the faster, more prepared team, and it was also the battle of the youngest team, with the Packers against the Commanders, who have the oldest roster in the league, and it showed. Week 2 showed us that the Detroit Lions and New York Giants are better than we thought, and both of their games should make Commanders fans feel better about the loss.

What we learned on Sunday

The Packers made a statement in Week 1 against the Lions, and everyone thought that they were just regressing with all of the coaching changes happening in Detroit, but we learned that wasn’t the case. After putting up only 13 points and 236 yards against the Packers, the Lions went back to being an electric offense and dropped 52 points and 511 yards on the Chicago Bears. The Packers’ defense is just that good this season.
