Packers Surge in Power Rankings After Dominant Week 1 Win
9 Sep
Summary
- Packers' defense shines in win over Lions
- Newly acquired Micah Parsons makes immediate impact
- Packers ranked among top contenders for 2025 Super Bowl

As of September 9th, 2025, the Green Bay Packers have emerged as one of the top teams in the NFL after their impressive dismantling of the Detroit Lions in Week 1. National football outlets have taken notice, ranking the Packers among the league's elite in their latest power rankings.
According to Nate Davis, the Packers have moved up a spot, now sitting behind only the Philadelphia Eagles and Buffalo Bills. Diante Lee of another outlet has the Packers behind the Eagles, Bills, and Baltimore Ravens, noting that "this isn't bluster from a football nerd: Green Bay will be real contenders in 2025."
The Packers' newly acquired edge rusher, Micah Parsons, made an immediate impact in his limited snaps, registering a sack and winning his matchup against All-Pro tackle Penei Sewell. As Packers coach Matt LaFleur said, "That's why he's here, right?" With Parsons and the rest of the defense flummoxing the Lions' offense, the Packers have sent a clear message to the rest of the league: they are a force to be reckoned with in the 2025 season.
