Chris Lempesis is back to break down the Green Bay Packers’ 27-13 beatdown of the Detroit Lions in the 2025 season opener at Lambeau Field.
For the first time in years, the Packers dominated Detroit in the trenches — winning on both sides of the ball. Chris dives into Jordan Love’s sharp start (two TDs), Josh Jacobs extending his scoring streak, and Micah Parsons making an immediate impact in his Green Bay debut with a sack and relentless pressure. He also spotlights big plays from Tucker Kraft, Jayden Reed, and Evan Williams, while calling out the defense’s speed and swagger in shutting down Detroit’s run game.
Of course, he doesn’t stop there. Chris shares his thoughts on what this win means for the NFC North, why this felt like a statement game, and he reads through your questions and comments from social media and email — and yes, Packers Nation was fired up.
This is one big show (no Tuesday mailbag this week due to the short turnaround), but Chris will be back after Thursday night’s game against Washington and the mailbag returns the following week.
