Packers
W 27-18 vs Commanders · Sep 11, 2025
Misery Index · Euphoric
Packers fans suddenly believing the defense is real after watching J.Daniels get contained and Nixon wreck the game.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
J.Love's 57-yard strike to T.Kraft on the opening drive set the tone, and the defense actually delivered on the promise — E.Cooper and M.Parsons splitting a third-quarter sack on J.Daniels, who never found a rhythm against a front that, for once, contained a mobile quarterback. 2-0 with a defense that looks real and a Parsons trade already paying dividends. The Kraft injury is the lone cloud, but Lambeau is allowed to exhale.
