Aftering taking down the Washington Commanders on “Thursday Night Football” to open Week 2, the Green Bay Packers got a chance to sit back and watch the action from across the NFL on Sunday. So, what happened around the league? A few Packers-related things, actually, including an NFC North battle and a couple of important notes on upcoming opponents.
A quick look at games around the NFL in Week 2:
Lions rebound, Bears fall to 0-2
The Lions bounced back from a season opening loss to the Packers, scoring seven touchdowns in a 52-21 win over the Chicago Bears at Ford Field. Jared Goff threw five touchdown passes, and the Lions gained over 500 yards — making Green Bay’s defensive dominance in the opener look even better. The Bears, meanwhile, are 0-2, with a pair of NFC North losses to start the season. Ben Johnson’s first season in Chicago — which already includes a Week 1 meltdown and a 31-point defeat — could go off the rails early. The Bears face the Cowboys next Sunday.
Browns fall to 0-2, Flacco struggles
The Browns, who host the Packers in Week 3, gave up 21 fourth-quarter points and lost 41-17 to Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. Joe Flacco threw a pick (returned 61 yards) and lost a fumble (returned 63 yards for a touchdown) and was pulled in the fourth quarter for rookie Dillon Gabriel. The Browns are still expected to start Flacco, who is 40 years old, against the Packers in Week 3. A rested pass-rush with Micah Parsons inching closer to full-time availability could feast.
Burrow hurt
The Packers host the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6. Will Joe Burrow be under center? The Bengals quarterback suffered a toe injury on Sunday and didn’t return. Early reporting suggests Burrow has a turf toe injury and will miss multiple weeks. Packers-Bengals is about a month away. Backup Jake Browning led the Bengals back for a win on Sunday, pushing Cincinnati to 2-0.

Tricky timeline on his return, but expectation would be several weeks. #Bengals @FOX19

Kenny Clark and the Cowboys had a wild ride on Sunday. A back-and-forth showdown with the Giants ended up in overtime, and a Russell Wilson interception in the extra session set up a walk-off winner for the Cowboys, who avoided an 0-2 start. Dak Prescott threw for 361 yards and had a key scramble late, while Clark got his first sack with the Cowboys. The Packers go to Dallas for what should be an eletric atmosphere in two weeks.
Eagles survive in KC
Too early to start thinking about playoff seeding? The defending champion Philadelphia Eagles are now 2-0 after going into Kansas City and beating the Chiefs. As of the late afternoon results, the teams in the NFC at 2-0 are the Packers, Eagles, Rams, Cardinals and Rams, with the Vikings and Buccaneers having a chance to join them.
Vikings on SNF
We’ll update this post with results. After a comeback win in Week 1, the Vikings are hosting the Atlanta Falcons on “Sunday Night Football.”
