Led by Aaron Rodgers and a stingy red-zone defense, the Green Bay Packers prevailed over the visiting Washington Football Team on Sunday 24-10. Rodgers threw three touchdown passes, while Green Bay's defense came up with several big stops against Taylor Heinicke and the Football Team's offense. The Packers have now won six straight to improve to 6-1. The loss dropped Washington to 2-5.
Both teams scored touchdowns on their opening possessions. Rodgers capped off Green Bay's 75-yard drive with a 17-yard touchdown pass to Devonta Adams, who on Sunday passed Sterling Sharpe for second all-time in franchise career receptions. Heinicke responded by hitting Terry McLaurin for a 40-yard score. After both teams missed field goals, Rodgers' 10-yard touchdown pass to Allen Lazard gave the Packers a 14-7 halftime lead. the score was set up by Eric Stokes' breakup of Heinicke's fourth-down pass attempt to McLaurin.
Green Bay stretched its lead to 21-7 on Rodgers' third-quarter touchdown pass to Robert Tonyan. The score came three plays after Rashan Gary's strip-sack of Heinicke was snared in the air by Dean Lowry. Green Bay's defense then came up with three consecutive red-zone stops. Heinicke was stonewalled just short of the goal line on Green Bay's first stand. Adrian Amos came up with the second stop when he broke up Heinicke's end-zone pass intended for Ricky Seals-Jones on fourth-and-goal. After Mason Crosby's 39-yard field stretched Green Bay's lead to 24-7, Washington drove to the Packers' 12-yard line before Heinicke was picked off in the end zone by Chandon Sullivan. Washington was able to parlay Landon Collins' fumble recovery into Chris Blewitt's first career field goal, but were unable to cut further into the deficit after failing to recover the ensuing onside kick.
Rodgers finished the game with 274 yards on 27 of 35 passing. Adams, Tonyan, and Lazard caught a combined 15 passes for 199 yards and three scores. Heinicke -- who grew up a Packers fan and wears No. 4 because of former Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre -- finished the game with 268 yards on 25 of 36 passing. He was also the game's leading rusher with 95 yards on 10 carries that included a 38-yard run in the second half. McLaurin led all receivers with 122 yards on seven receptions.
