The Green Bay Packers triumphed over the Detroit Lions with a 27-13 victory in their 2025 season opener. Jordan Love showcased efficient quarterback play, completing 16 of 22 passes for 188 yards and two touchdowns, setting a strong offensive tone early.

Josh Jacobs contributed significantly on the ground, rushing 19 times for 66 yards and a touchdown, while Brandon McManus was perfect on his kicks, converting 2-for-2 field goals and all three PATs.

Defensively, Micah Parsons made a notable debut for the Packers, recording a sack and applying consistent pressure, which led to an interception by Evan Williams. The Lions' offense, led by Jared Goff, struggled as he went 31-of-39 for 225 yards, with one touchdown and one interception.

The Lions' newly restructured offensive line faltered, with Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery combining for only 44 rushing yards on 20 carries. Rookie Isaac TeSlaa caught a late 13-yard touchdown, but it was too little, too late.

Injuries impacted both teams, with the Packers' Luke Musgrave sustaining a concussion and David Bakhtiari placed on injured reserve. The Lions' defense missed a crucial opportunity when a Brian Branch pick-six was nullified by a penalty, underscoring their struggles.

Looking ahead, the Packers will host the Washington Commanders, while the Lions aim to rebound against the Chicago Bears. The Packers' enhanced pass rush and early offensive execution were key to their victory, whereas the Lions must address their offensive line issues and adapt to their new coaching staff.
