The Washington Commanders entered Thursday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers looking for a 2-0 start to the season. Less than a half into the game, and things have gone almost as badly as possible.

The Packers have had their way thus far. But the worst moment had nothing to do with the scoreboard.

Following Green Bay's second touchdown of the night, Commanders linebacker Deatrich Wise was injured on the extra point.

A Packers offensive lineman appeared to roll up on the veteran's legs. He lay on the ground for several minutes before the cart came out onto the field.

Every Commanders teammate approached Wise and put their hand on him in a show of support.

Moments like that remind everyone that all NFL players are brothers.

Wise is a nine-year veteran in the NFL. He spent the first eight seasons of his pro career with the New England Patriots. He was one of the more consistent defensive lineman for New England, racking up 34 sacks during his time there.

But the former Arkansas Razorback signed with the Commanders this offseason. He signed a one-year deal worth $3.25 million to bring an experienced presence to Washington's defensive line.

Wise started in the Commanders' Week 1 win over the New York Giants, totaling three tackles, one tackle for loss, and one quarterback hit.

Prior to his injury, the Washington defense had looked outclassed. Packers QB Jordan Love has had all day, throwing for 214 yards and a touchdown. At halftime, the Packers lead 14-3 in a game where the score does not truly indicate how one-sided the game has been.
