Two franchises who are polar opposites, when it comes to roster construction, will collide Thursday night at Lambeau Field with the Washington Commanders (1-0) facing off against the host Green Bay Packers (1-0).

Washington is the NFL’s oldest team with an average age of 28 years and 243 days while Green Bay is the NFl’s youngest team for the third consecutive season with an average age of 25 years and 292 days. Thursday night will also feature a reunion of old “friends” with new Packers All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons reconnecting with one of his former NFC East foes in Washington 2024 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year quarterback Jayden Daniels. 

Parsons obliterated the Commanders’ front in his two matchups as a Dallas Cowboy in 2024: he totaled seven quarterback pressures and four-and-a-half sacks in those meetings. That production made Parsons the only player in the NFL to sack Daniels more than twice last season. 

On the other side of the ball, Packers quarterback Jordan Love will become the first quarterback to start for Green Bay against Washington other than either Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers since Don Majkowski in 1988. Love also has eight consecutive regular season starts without an interception, and with a clean game Thursday night, he can tie Rodgers’ nine-game stretch in 2018 for the longest interception-less streak by a Packers quarterback in the Super Bowl era. 

Will Love, Parsons and the Packers power Green Bay to their first 2-0 start since 2020? Or will Daniels lead the Commanders to their  first win at Lambeau Field since 1986? Stay tuned to our live blog below to find out! 

Where to watch Packers vs. Commanders live

DC Comics has canceled the just-released “Red Hood” comic book series after author Gretchen Felker-Martin made comments about Charlie Kirk’s death on social media.

Kirk, a conservative activist and campaigner for President Donald Trump, was shot and killed Wednesday at a speaking event at a university in Utah.

In since-deleted posts captured in screengrabs shared by other social media users, Felker-Martin allegedly wrote on social media after news of Kirk’s death: “Hope the bullet’s OK.”

Felker-Martin, who identifies as transgender, also referred to Kirk as a “Nazi b*tch.”

Kirk was outspoken in his opposition to trans rights.

In a statement shared with CNN on Thursday, a spokesperson for the company said: “At DC Comics, we place the highest value on our creators and community and affirm the right to peaceful, individual expression of personal viewpoints. Posts or public comments that can be viewed as promoting hostility or violence are inconsistent with DC’s standards of conduct.”

CNN has reached out to representatives for Felker-Martin and “Red Hood” artist Jeff Spokes for comment.

CNN, like DC Comics, is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery.

Red Hood is the moniker of Jason Todd, who exists within the Gotham City-Batman subset of DC characters. The new series from Felker-Martin hit comic book store shelves on Wednesday.

Future issues of “Red Hood” were set to be released through next June, with a second volume slated to run through December 2026, according to a DC press release.

Kirk’s death prompted an outpouring of condemnation from both sides of the aisle and prompted fears of continued violent threats to political figures.

Trump described Kirk’s death as a “dark moment for America” and has in the past credited Kirk with galvanizing and mobilizing the youth vote for him.

Charlie Kirk’s body was flown Thursday on Air Force Two — the vice president’s plane — from Utah to Arizona, where he lived with his family.

The 31-year-old conservative activist was shot and killed Wednesday afternoon at an event at a Utah university. He is survived by his wife, Erika, and two young children.

Vice President JD Vance was seen helping carry Kirk’s casket on a tarmac in Salt Lake City, Utah, in a video posted on social media by Tyler Bower, who worked with Kirk at his organization Turning Point USA. The vice presidential aircraft would transport Kirk’s body to Phoenix, officials familiar with the matter had said earlier.

The plane landed in Phoenix shortly before 5 p.m. local time.

Kirk’s family and some of his friends were expected to travel with Vance and second lady Usha Vance to Arizona, officials said earlier Thursday. 

Spokespeople for the vice president declined to comment. 

Kirk was killed as he was speaking to a crowd at an outdoor “Prove Me Wrong” debate at Utah Valley University. A suspect has not yet been identified.

Kirk’s body was transferred from the hospital to a medical examiner’s office on Wednesday night, Beau Mason, commissioner of the Utah Department of Public Safety, said.

Vance noted on Wednesday that he and Kirk were friends and said Kirk advocated “in public and private” for President Trump to pick him as his running mate last year. Vance praised Turning Point USA’s role in organizing pro-Trump events last year and credited Kirk with some of the Trump administration’s personnel decisions.

“So much of the success we’ve had in this administration traces directly to Charlie’s ability to organize and convene,” Vance wrote. “He didn’t just help us win in 2024, he helped us staff the entire government.”
