Packers: Top five performers in Week 3 loss vs. Washington

Another week, another controversial call. This call may not have cost the Packers the game, but it did have an effect on the team.

At the time of the sack, the Packers were building momentum in the game. On second-and-seven, Clay Matthews beat his man and made what the world thought was a good, clean, hard sack. Then a flag was thrown and Matthews was penalized 15 yards and Coach McCarthy lost his mind and almost caught a penalty too.

While the call seems to be the story, sloppy play and penalties (not just the controversial ones) decided the game.
