For the first quarter, Sunday’s tilt between the Green Bay Packers and Washington looked very much like a 9-3 playing a 3-9 squad with a rookie quarterback. Green Bay led 14-0, hadn’t allowed a Washington first down, and harassed Dwayne Haskins. For most of the rest of the game, neither team looked particularly polished or effective, and Matt LaFleur’s team merely survived a game effort from an undermanned opponent 20-15.
“Although we are definitely happy we won, it felt like we left a lot out there today,” LaFleur said after the game, pre-empting questions from reporters with that statement.
