GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers will kick off the 2021 NFL preseason on Saturday with a home game against the Houston Texans. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
When the teams met in last year’s regular season, Aaron Rodgers vs. Deshaun Watson provided a premier quarterbacking matchup. Rodgers threw four touchdown passes in a 35-20 romp. Watson threw for 309 yards, with team highs of eight receptions and 95 yards by Packers-turned-Texans-turned Packers receiver Randall Cobb.
On Saturday, the quarterbacking matchup could be Jordan Love vs. Davis Mills. Rodgers probably won’t play during the three-game preseason, leaving the quarterbacking duties to Love and Kurt Benkert.
