What you need to know about the Packers
It was all tied 3-3 at halftime, but Green Bay weren’t quite the match of the New York Jets in the second half when they met last Sunday. The contest between them was not particularly tight, with Green Bay losing 27-10. No one had a standout game offensively for Green Bay, but the Packers got a touchdown from QB Aaron Rodgers, who ended up with a passer rating of 121.90.
The Packers entered the 2022 season as one of the top Super Bowl contenders in the NFC, but haven’t quite looked like a championship-caliber team yet. Rodgers played well, completing 67% of his passing attempts for 1,403 yards, nine touchdowns, three interceptions and a 94.2 quarterback rating. Green Bay’s young wide receivers have shown signs of being a talented bunch, but they haven’t merged with Rodgers yet. Allen Lazard leads Green Bay with 20 catches for 285 yards and 4 touchdowns.
What you need to know about commanders
The Commanders snapped a four-game losing streak with their win over the Chicago Bears on Thursday night, but lost Wentz in the process. Wentz hadn’t played particularly well in his first season in Washington, completing 62.1 percent of his passes for 1,489 yards, 10 touchdowns, six interceptions and an 84.1 quarterback rating.
Wentz will be replaced by Heinicke, who has played well for Washington at times in the past. In 15 starts for the Commanders in 2021, Heinicke completed 65% of his passes for 3,419 yards, 20 touchdowns, 15 interceptions and an 85.9 quarterback rating. He’ll have his work cut out for him against a Green Bay defense that ranks first in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game (164.0).
