Packers 35
Redskins 18
Green Bay completed the NFL’s first-ever Wild Card Weekend sweep for road teams by running like the Lombardi Packers … literally. Eddie Lacy and James Starks are the first Packers duo to each rush for 45+ yards and a TD in a playoff game since Super Bowl I. The Pack will need more of the same next week if they’re going to avoid a repeat of their last trip to the desert. The Redskins blew a golden opportunity but at least they know they have a pair of playoff performers on offense: Kirk Cousins is the first ‘Skins QB to have a TD run and TD pass in a postseason game and Jordan Reed became the first Redskins TE to post a 100 yard game. The Redskins might actually beat a winning team in 2016 if they can get that ground game going and shore up a defense that sacked Aaron Rodgers just once and gave up 35 points to a Packers squad that hadn’t score that much since Week 3.
