Redskins Trail Packers 17-11 At Halftime

The first quarter of today's playoff matchup between the Washington Redskins and Green Bay Packers ended with a bang, as tight end Jordan Reed made an impressive one-handed catch to earn a first down and get into Green Bay territory.

And he'd complete drive, too, catching a 24-yard touchdown across the middle early in the second quarter to extend Washington's lead to 11-0.

But the Packers -- and Aaron Rodgers -- couldn't be held back for long. Green Bay's offense responded with a nine-play, 80-yard drive that took 3:58 off the clock, culminating in a 12-yard touchdown pass from Rodgers to Randall Cobb, cutting the Redskins' lead to 11-7 with 9:04 left in the second quarter.
