There is support
Green Bay fans are happy and with family as they return to Lambeau Field to support their Packers.
The golden opportunity
Speaking of Jordan Love, it is worth remembering that he was inactive last season due to injury, how good Aaron Rodgers was and because there was no preseason, which is why these will be his first non-career games at the helm of Green Bay.
Without Rodgers
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers will remain with the Packers, but it was reported that at least for this game he will not see action and Jordan Love will.

Last games
Because they are in different conferences, the regular season matchup between Texans and Packers only happens every four years. Only six times have they met with Green Bay having the advantage of five wins to one loss: only once have they met in preseason which was in 2019 with the Cheesers winning 28-26.
Key player Green Bay Packers
Who will be able to see action for many plays will be Jordan Love, because he did not play last season and has not had a chance to show himself on the field, considering that he is expected to be the natural reliever when Aaron Rodgers leaves and/or retires.
Key player Houston Texans
After having an incredible rookie season, the arrival of Melvin Gordon to the Broncos took away his prominence and that's why running back Phillip Lindsay decided to leave Denver to join a team like the Texans that one of its weak points in 2020 was the ground attack.
Packers: Calming the atmosphere
The NFL novel was what happened with Aaron Rodgers who, at the end of the day, will be with the Packers for one more season with the goal of reaching the Super Bowl; however, Matt LaFleur indicated that number 12 will not be active in the preseason and the backup, Jordan Love, will do so.
Texans: renovation
The Houston Texans have had many moves in recent years and have gone from being a contending team to a renewal team where they are not expected to do much throughout the season; the main focus of attention is on quarterback Deshaun Watson, who expressed his desire to leave the institution, but negotiations were halted due to the multiple sexual harassment claims that became known during the summer.
Preseason returns
It should be recalled that due to the coronavirus pandemic, the NFL did not have preseason games last year and, for this year, there will only be three games per team due to the extension of the regular campaign by one week.
Kick-off time
The Houston Texans vs Green Bay Packers match will be played at the Lambeu Field Stadium, in Wisconsin, United States. The kick-off is scheduled at 8 pm ET.
