This week’s Thursday Night Football game is set for September 11, 2025, featuring the Washington Commanders traveling to face the Green Bay Packers with kickoff at 8:15 PM Eastern. The game will be available to stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video, as reported by NFL.com and verified by CBS Sports and Paramount Plus, continuing the recent trend of Thursday Night Football coverage. For those hoping to catch the action live, tickets are available, but most fans will be tuning in via Prime Video’s national broadcast.

Hype around this NFC clash is building fast with much of the conversation centered around Jordan Love’s continued growth as the Packers’ franchise quarterback versus the Commanders’ reconstructed defense. ESPN highlights that Love looked sharp in Green Bay’s opening win, showing poise and chemistry with young weapons like Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs. In contrast, the Commanders’ defense under new coordinator Dan Quinn performed above expectations in Week 1, limiting the Giants to just six points and making a statement that this unit could quietly be a force in 2025.

The Packers enter the matchup as early favorites, with most sportsbooks including BetMGM and Caesars setting the line at Green Bay minus 4.5 at Lambeau. Over-unders are hovering around 43 points, reflecting expectations of a physical, defensive contest – though the Packers’ offense has potential for fireworks if Love keeps his rhythm.

Injury reports as of this afternoon are promising for both sides. NFL Network notes the Packers are close to full strength, with left tackle David Bakhtiari and running back Aaron Jones both practicing in full this week – key for maintaining offensive balance. For Washington, star defensive end Chase Young is listed as questionable with a minor hamstring issue but is optimistic he’ll suit up, per beat writers in D.C.

National commentary is zeroing in on the quarterback duel. FOX Sports analyst Peter Schrager called this “a vital early measuring stick game for Love,” while Stephen A. Smith speculated on ESPN Radio that the Commanders might keep things close with their pass rush but ultimately “the Packers’ home-field advantage and Love’s talent will be the difference.”

Among players to watch, rookie wide receiver David Sanders for Washington has emerged as an X-factor, notching 70 yards last week and becoming a favorite of quarterback Sam Howell. Green Bay’s Quay Walker on defense also drew raves from Pro Football Focus for his sideline-to-sideline speed in Week 1.

No major headlines have broken in the last 24 hours regarding this matchup according to the NFL and ESPN news desks, but expect detailed updates as the game approaches, particularly around final injury designations Thursday morning.
