In the final game that the Packers lost in the regular season last year, Kirk Cousins and his Washington Redskins counterparts shredded the Packers' defense en route to a 42-24 win.
While preseason wins and loss totals are virtually meaningless, that same disastrous defensive performance was far from the narrative tonight.
For the first 28 minutes—until the two-minute warning in the second quarter—the Packers held Cousins and co. to 63 yards passing, jumping to a 14-10 halftime lead. In those final two minutes, however, Cousins led the Redskins' offense down the field on a 10-play, 78-yard drive that culminated in a touchdown.
