• The Green Bay Packers have been one of the most impressive teams in the NFL in the first two weeks of the season. On Sunday night, they will visit a New Orleans Saints team trying to find the form that produced NFC South championships each of the past three years. Aaron Rodgers has passed for an average of 302 yards while throwing six touchdown passes and no interceptions as the Packers (2-0) scored 43 and 42 points in wins against the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions, respectively.

• The Saints (1-1) opened the season by spoiling Tom Brady’s debut with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, then squandered a 10-point lead in losing to the Raiders, 34-24, in Las Vegas’ home debut on Monday night.

• Rodgers received plenty of support last week from Aaron Jones, who rushed for a career-high 168 yards and two touchdowns and caught one of Rodgers’ two touchdown passes. Davante Adams has 17 receptions for 192 yards and two touchdowns on the young season.

• Saints quarterback Drew Brees, the NFL’s all-time leading passer, has not been up to par through two games. The 41-year-old veteran has a passer rating of 93.5, and his 64.7 percent completion rate is well below his league-leading 74.3 percent from last year.

• Saints All-Pro wide receiver Michael Thomas missed the game against the Raiders because of an ankle injury. New Orleans did not practice Wednesday, but the injury report indicated Thomas would not have practiced. The same was true of defensive end Marcus Davenport, who has yet to play this season because of an elbow injury.

• Adams was held out of the Packers’ Wednesday practice because of a hamstring injury sustained against Detroit. He was unsure of his status for Sunday. He has been ruled out for tonight’s game.
