Packers get first defensive score of 2022 on De’Vondre Campbell pick-six

There haven’t been too many highlight-reel plays for the Green Bay Packers’ defense this season. Coming into week seven’s game against the Washington Commanders, the Packers had forced just four turnovers all year and just one interception.

Against quarterback Taylor Heinicke, they doubled that number of picks early in the second quarter as linebacker De’Vondre Campbell — who has been much-maligned this season for a step back in his play — stole a pass from running back J.D. McKissic. Not satisfied with just the turnover, however, Campbell saw an open green field ahead of him and returned the interception 63 yards for a touchdown to give the Packers a 14-3 lead.
