An ugly loss for the Packers, featuring another absolutely awful roughing the passer call on Clay Matthews. But this time, it’s not the NFL’s awful rules that are responsible for the Packers failing to come away with a win—it’s the team looking wholly unprepared for what should have been a winnable game.
The Packers’ defense allowed four first-half touchdowns, which, despite their significantly better play in the second half, ended up being more than enough for Washington to take the victory. The play that did the most in helping set up that fourth touchdown may very well have been the game changer for this game.
