Coming into the playoffs the Green Bay Packers look like a beaten team. This isn’t the Packers team of recent years that were an offensive juggernaut with a quarterback in Aaron Rodgers that seemed to be virtually unstoppable.
No, this is a Packers team that’s been inconsistent for much of the season and failed to win NFC North division title for the first time since the 2010 season. That’s a long stretch of division dominance and for it to come to an end now has to be a crushing blow for the Packers.
However, none of that means that they will simply roll over and die for the Washington Redskins and the Redskins can’t assume that they will.
