Packers at Commanders: How to Watch, Stream, Listen, Bet
GREEN BAY, Wisconsin — After back-to-back losses that put them on the outside in the far too early NFC playoff race, the Green Bay Packers (3-3) are embarking on a three-game road trip in the Washington Commanders (2-4) at Sunday at FedEx Field.
“We’re in a pretty bad situation right now,” said coach Matt LaFleur after the game.
This is a huge week for the Packers — and that’s the Monday through Saturday portion. There are schematic issues to solve and the right side of the offensive line to fix. Really, the problems are here, there and everywhere. On Sunday, they face a Commanders defense that ranks fourth in the league in sack percentage.
