Josh Norman calls Aaron Rodgers ‘Gandalf the White’
He was given the questionable designation, but players that get in full Friday practices generally tend to be active on game days. Tennessee defeated Green Bay 47-25. In the midst of a three-game losing streak, Green Bay now sits at 4-5 and in third place in the NFC North.
Every remaining game for the Redskins is against an NFC team, so the urgency is higher than ever if they want to repeat as NFC East champions. The Redskins are 5-3-1, behind both the Cowboys and the Giants in the division. Washington defense has made three sacks in five consecutive games. They had nine Week 1 starters out of the game by the end of last week, with right guard T.J. Lang (ankle) and left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) dropping out of that blowout loss. I think he brings the screen game into it as well, like he did last week when he scored a touchdown on a screen.
Kirk Cousins throws a pass vs. Cincinnati. Crowder already has two 100-yard receiving games. Davis had just five rushes for 5 yards in the two games for Green Bay. Offensively, the Packers are scoring 24.8 points per game, with 253 yards per game via the air and 102 yards on the ground. The Packers’ only rushing touchdowns have been delivered by Rodgers.
Green Bay was hoping that track record bought the team some equity as they try and limp through a season without a real starting running back and without the services of their best defensive player, Clay Matthews.
The Packers have a Super Bowl MVP quarterback, but that’s hardly enough reason to pick them over the Redskins.
The Green Bay Packers have a new running back.
Washington has been playing the better football as of late, but Green Bay is too good of a team to keep playing like this. For the seventh time this season the Redskins had a game decided by one score, and after beating the Vikings they’re 4-2-1 in those situations. In that game, the Packers went with veteran James Starks, who carried seven times for 33 yards in his first game following October 16 knee surgery for a torn meniscus.
AP Sports Writer Genaro Armas in Green Bay, Wisconsin, contributed. The Packers have lost three straight and don’t show signs of improving anytime soon, so all signs point towards this being a Redskins victory.
In the first half, Washington seemed to validate those fears, jumping to a lead and containing Aaron Rodgers.
