Washington (6-3-1) rolled up 515 yards of total offense and used some huge fourth quarter plays to keep the Packers at bay.
Most troubling for Green Bay is opponents have figured out the clear way to beat the Packers is to go deep against the porous back end of their defence.
Late in the fourth quarter of the Washington’s 42-24 thrashing of the Green Bay Packers Sunday night, thousands of fans who remained to courageous the chilly wind at FedEx Field joined in unison to chant, “We want Dallas!” “We gave up way too many big plays, it’s frustrating, it’s tough, a Sunday night game”.
Cravens said the reality of the turnaround hit him before Sunday night’s game, when he was texting with Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott.
Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week for his Week 11 performance against the Green Bay Packers, the National Football League announced on Wednesday.
“He was lights-out”, Redskins receiver DeSean Jackson said.
Cousins set the team record for career 300-yard games with his 17 Sunday, including one in the postseason.
“I think what happened (Sunday) is very correctable, and we’ve got to go back to work and correct it because we know we’ve got to go to Philly and find a way to win a game”, Capers said.
The Washington Redskins will travel to Dallas (9-1) for a Thanksgiving showdown on Thursday.
The Packers have been working toward that fifth victory for the past month after dropping tough matchups against Atlanta, Indianapolis, Tennessee and Washington to fall to 4-6 on the season. “We can’t control the health of the football team but we need to get the turnover ratio turned because that ain’t cutting it”. “We’re in a rough stretch right now”. The rookie running back from Tulane put on a show, amassing 137 rushing yards with an astonishing three touchdown runs.
Cousins, who didn’t have a scholarship offer going into his senior year in high school, is used to proving himself. This was the fourth game in a row the Packers allowed at least 30 points. “We have video of us doing it. I’m speechless”, safety Micah Hyde said. Whatever the answer is, after the fourth down the Redskins scored two touchdowns in seven plays en route their biggest midseason win in over a decade.
The Green Bay Packers’ season is on life support.
“Well, we’re just not putting it together for 60 minutes”, Rodgers said.

Washington was able to pass the ball 30 times and run the ball 26 times. Considering Washington was punting into a stiff wind and the offensive line had been getting a good push, going for it made even more sense. “He just has really good release and a good feel for it”. Tight end Jared Cook returned from an injury and caught six passes for 105 yards and a touchdown.
