They also sacked Kirk Cousins six times and did not allow Washington to have any sustained momentum throughout the afternoon.

The Green Bay Packers are genuine playoff contenders.
Cousins marched his side 73 yards up the field and then galloped over from close range for a touchdown to restore Washington’s slender advantage. The Vikings (11-6) took the ball for the deciding drive with 1:42 left at their 39-yard line and aided by a pass interference penalty on Kam Chancellor drove deep into Seattle’s territory.
“I didn’t come through for us, and that hurts”, a distraught Walsh said afterwards. “It would be great to get him back”. Holder Jeff Locke had the laces turned in not out but there were no excuses to be made.
“There’s not too many times you have an opportunity to go back and have a redo”, McCarthy said. “I just had to fix what I needed to fix and I don’t think they were really anxious at all”. “It’s a chip shot” Zimmer said.
But Arizona did meet Green Bay in the playoffs once, and that 2010 matchup at University of Phoenix Stadium was a memorable one. He was able to lead the Colts to the playoffs, earning his first coach of the year when he wasn’t even the head coach.
While the offense does have a lot of weapons, it’s hard to look anywhere other than Aaron Rodgers.
Here are five reasons the Arizona Cardinals will win Super Bowl 50.
Trailing 17-11 at halftime, Washington took the second half kickoff and then took the lead.
A dramatic missed field goal saw the Seattle Seahawks edge past the Minnesota Vikings as the Green Pay Packers demolished the Washington Redskins on a pulsating day of National Football League wild card action playoff Sunday.
“I want to be where I am wanted”, said Cousins via ESPN, “and you want to be with people who believe in you and we are going to find out – because we haven’t discussed it much yet – how much I am wanted and where that’ll go”.
On one hand, the Packers seem to have a chip on their shoulder for those who would dare to point out the fact that, for long stretches of the season, the Packers have stunk. At that regular season game, Arizona’s defense suffocated Rodgers and sacked him eight times. He passed for one touchdown and ran for another, and he wasn’t picked off. Tight end Jordan Reed had nine catches for 120 yards and a touchdown for the Redskins, who had won four straight to capture their first NFC East title since 2012.

He said it was his second start when he shook off the nerves for good. Larry Fitzgerald and John Brown have combined for 2,218 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns while Michael Floyd has 52 receptions. Aaron Rodgers is completing 58.3 percent of his passes for 210 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions. Cobb can play running back. After 17 rushing yards at halftime the Packers finished with 141 yards on 32 carries.
