Packers’ red zone defense finally shows up in 24-10 victory over Washington

As long as Aaron Rodgers remained upright, the Green Bay Packers had no trouble moving the football on Sunday afternoon. The Washington Football Team’s defensive line made life difficult for Rodgers early on in the game, recording three sacks in the first half, but the Packers adjusted and kept Rodgers clean after the break as his three touchdown passes led Green Bay to a 24-10 victory.

Rodgers hit Davante Adams, Allen Lazard, and Robert Tonyan for scoring passes, bringing his season total up to 15. In all, he completed 27 of 35 pass attempts for 274 yards on the day as the offense overcame a dismal rushing performance against Washington’s stout defensive line.
