Their offensive explosion lasted only one half; the defense had to carry them in the second half. Still, a 28-point first half was all they needed in a 31-17 win over Green Bay. They even received runs reminiscent of the Adrian Peterson of old. It enabled the Redskins running back to finish with 120 yards on 19 carries.
