Highlights

There weren’t very many first-half highlights to choose from so you’ll have to excuse the light load in this section.

The first highlight comes from a Ha Ha Clinton-Dix interception, his second of the season. Clinton-Dix spent most of the game getting torched, but was at least able to come away with a takeaway here. He reads Jordan Reed‘s route perfectly and is able to corral the ball before going out of bounds.

On this play, the Packers first touchdown of the day, Geronimo Allison showed how valuable he can be to this offense. He doesn’t do anything special, but Washington’s safety bites on something underneath. This allows Allison to run right past Josh Norman in coverage and Rodgers finds him wide open down the field.

On the Packers’ second and final touchdown of the game, Rodgers found Davante Adams from just a couple yards out and Adams was able to just barely cross the goal line. There were plenty of close moments throughout the rest of the game, but the Packers were unable to capitalize and make this contest any closer.
