Packers vs Redskins Over
He owns the best passer rating in league history.
Washington on the other hand, is one of the hottest teams in the playoffs, riding a four-game winning streak.
Look at each of them now, though.
With only one slot available and two teams battling, expect a very entertaining match-up between the Green Bay Packers and the Washington Redskins at the FedEx Field. Jordan Reed has smashed team records for catches (87), yards (952) and touchdowns (11) by a tight end.
Fans attending the game will be given white towels with burgundy lettering that pays tribute to Cousins’ catch phrase: “You like that?!”
The Green Bay Packers are bracing for the Washington Redskins’ pass rush in a wild-card playoff game Sunday. This year, it’s been a back injury that has limited him in practice, but he’s the only Packers’ offensive lineman to start all 16 regular-season games in 2015.
Washington Redskins has managed to secure the divisional title and are looking to advance on in the competition by outscoring one of the better organization remaining in the race to Super Bowl 50 championship. “He’s still got the intangibles of an elite QB”, Washington cornerback Bashaud Breeland said.
“I think we play hard”, said B.J. Raji, “I think there’s some things you can clean up but for the most part we hang together…” Julius Peppers is still going strong in his 14th year in the league.
Rookie linebacker Preston Smith has also been impressive of late, with five sacks over the last three weeks.
The Packers listed 18 players on their injury report on Friday. And without Nelson to throw long to, it’s made for a disappointing season. “Should be like riding a bike”, Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams said. “Until he comes through the protocol that’s just where we are”. At right is running back Matt Jones. And then it all fell apart. Alfred Morris had a 100-yard outing in his first game of the season, and he had his second in last week’s finale against the Cowboys.
If Bakhtiari can’t play, Mike McCarthy said earlier in the week that Josh Sitton would stay at left guard. “He’s fresh, and this is the ideal time to start to utilize him”.
Lacy has been a mystery this season for the Packers (10-6, 9-7 ATS).
Kansas City (-4) at Houston: The Texans won seven of their last nine games after starting 2-5.
According to Vegas, the Packers are a one-point favorite, speaking more to Green Bay’s past than their present, which has been most inelegant.
Aaron Rodgers and the inconsistent offense produced just three points in the first half against the Vikings and has struggled since the bye week to find its identity.
While Washington’s defense ranked 28th in yards allowed, it was 12th in opponents’ third-down conversions at 37 percent.
