On this Redskins throwback from October 23, Washington fans look back to defeating the Green Bay Packers 23-21. It was a nail-biting home victory in 2022.
Taylor Heinicke played a strong game at quarterback. He threw two touchdown passes, as Washington built momentum in the second half.
However, they had to hold on late against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.
Key Moments in the Win
– Terry McLaurin caught a 37-yard touchdown pass from Heinicke.
– Antonio Gibson scored on a 9-yard touchdown reception.
– Joey Slye kicked three field goals, including the go-ahead score.
– The defense forced a key interception returned by De’Vondre Campbell.
– Washington improved to 3-4 with the dramatic victory.
A Memorable Sunday Afternoon
The Redskins controlled large portions of the game, with an overwhelming advantage in time of possession. Washington held the ball for nearly an entire quarter more than Green Bay (37:07 vs 22:53).
Regardless, Rodgers mounted an 8-play 75-yard drive with just over 3 minutes to go, to draw within 2 points at 23-21. Then, the Packers had a shot at the win from mid-field with 5 seconds to go but couldn’t capitalize.
Edge of the seat stuff.
