Some quick thoughts that stand out on the Packersâ non-divisional home opponents:
Texans: A potential Super Bowl preview between two of the leagueâs expected top defenses, with Jordan Love and C.J. Stroud at quarterback.
Bills: Best player coming to Lambeau Field next season will be Josh Allen.
Cowboys:Micah Parsons vs. Jerry Jones, the sequel. Perhaps this time it wonât end in a tie.
Panthers: A rematch of the Packersâ upset loss in November against the eventual 2025 NFC South champs.
Dolphins:Malik Willis will be the quarterback, and Jeff Hafley will be the coach.
Falcons: Thought Derrick Henry was tough to tackle? Get ready for Bijan Robinson. Might be the second-best player coming to Lambeau Field next season.
