Pack, Rodgers struggling, Skins, Cousins soaring to playoffs

As for the Redskins players themselves, they express nothing but confidence in Cousins, who replaced Robert Griffin III as the starter late in the preseason, but they’re not exactly disparaging Rodgers in any way. They say you want to be hot going into the playoffs, and Cousins and the Redskins are definitely that. Since then, however, they are a paltry 4-6, and that includes their Hail Mary victory over Detroit. The Packers are plummeting towards Earth. Despite some early-season controversy, Cousins finished the regular season with 29 touchdowns and 4,166 passing yards. Cousins has made head coach Jay Gruden look brilliant in choosing to go with the former Michigan State gunslinger just before the season started. “That’s what probably separates him from a majority of other quarterbacks”.

Packers at a glance: Green Bay is making a seventh consecutive trip to the playoffs, including an overtime loss at Seattle in last season’s NFC Championship Game, when the Packers blew a 12-point lead in the final 2½ minutes. They were 0-3 against teams with a winning record which included the New England Patriots, New York Jets and Carolina Panthers.

In a more recent betting turn, Green Bay’s offensive woes have hurt bettors.

Look at each of them now, though.

“It’s definitely about what we do”, Packers running back Eddie Lacy told reporters this week. It will be a hard fought game, but I truly believe the Packers will advance. We have to start with that this week.

The Washington Redskins are hoping their strong home field performance leads to a playoff win on Sunday.

Aaron Rodgers got sacked 18 more times this year than last season, but that’s hardly the fault of the offensive line.

“… I’m pretty sure we’ll get momentum somewhere along the line in this game and just ride it out”. Meanwhile the total has gone OVER in four of the Redskins last five games.

The Packers ad Redskins play one another on Sunday at 4:40 p.m. ET on FOX.

A young Washington offensive line – right guard Brandon Scherff, right tackle Morgan Moses and left guard Spencer Long became starters this season – allowed only 27 sacks. Josh LeRibeus performed admirably for the Redskins in Lichtensteiger’s absence, but nothing beats experience in the post-season. Over the past eight years, the Redskins have two NFC East titles and six last-place finishes, including 4-12 in 2014, Jay Gruden’s first as coach.
