Green Bay Packers at Washington Redskins
The Packers stumble into this game with a 4-6 record on the year. That’s all we’ve got right now. The Redskins have won two straight overall but still trail both Dallas and NY in the NFC East.
The only team not to score that many was Chicago, so good job Green Bay. “So we’ve got find a way to get a win next week and approach it one week at a time”. The first drive resulted in a field goal. Four plays later: touchdown. While Dallas is the better team, Thursday’s game should be a close one that goes down to the wire. “That tells the story”.
Cousins matched Rodgers play for play in a second-half shootout. Crowder finished with 3 catches for 102 yards and 1 touchdown. Garcon was targeted seven times and posted six catches for 110 yards.
Cousins and Washington were unable to agree upon a long-term deal and is playing under the franchise tag. Both he and head coach Jay Gruden knew how important this win was to the team (going for it on Fourth down much?).
The Green Bay defense has been responsible for all but seven of those points in the last four contests, during which the opposition has averaged more than 420 yards per game and thrown for almost 1,250 yards and 12 touchdowns.
“If you’re a fan, you can just give up”, linebacker Datone Jones said. Perry returned but it put a Band-Aid bow on a season-long rash of injuries.
ROSEMONT, Ill. (AP) – Billy Garrett and Eli Cain both made three 3-pointers and scored 20 points to lead DePaul to a 77-59 win over Milwaukee on Sunday. Washington cornerback Josh Norman knocked the ball out of Nelson’s hands in the end zone and thought it was incomplete, but officials ruled it a touchdown and replay confirmed it. The quartet has also snared 13 of Cousins’ 17 touchdown passes. I’ll take the beat-up Eagles here, as I’ve completely given up on the Packers. Green Bay is simply not a good team, especially on defense, where they’ve given up a whopping 153 points in just their last four games. It’s hard to believe that if it came down to it, they could place as a wild card. First, Jared Cook wasn’t ready for a pass from Rodgers. They’re second in yards gained per game, are third in passing yards per game, 10th in rushing yards and ninth in points scored (25.4 PPG). Jarred Cook went for 100-yards yesterday and a touchdown. As for wide receivers, Jordy Nelson clearly isn’t on the same page with Rodgers, and that’s very surprising. There is still hope but the margin for error is razor thin, to keep the playoff streak alive in Green Bay.
Since then, the Redskins have gone on a roll. With the Redskins trailing 10 to 7 late in the period, Rob Kelley scored on a 10-yard touchdown run. Buried on the depth chart early in the season, Kelley has emerged as the clear No. 1 guy in the backfield.
