2019 Game 13: Redskins at Packers — Part II


The Redskins huddle up at midfield.


RB Adrian Peterson (#26) again looking for daylight, while LB Blake Martinez (#50) waits.


QB Dwayne Haskins (#7) in the pocket.


Peterson finds running room, although LB Za’Darius Smith (#55) looks to get an arm on him.


RB Aaron Jones (#33) gets away from the Redskins’ defense for what would be a long gain along the west sideline.


Offensive and defensive linemen battling each other even though the play has moved on past them.


QB Aaron Rodgers (#12) looking to secure a first down.


WR-PR Steven Sims, Jr. (#15) awaits the punt.


A close-up of some of the Packers’ defensive personnel.


The Redskins working deep in their own territory.


RB Derrius Guice (#29) is injured along the Packers’ sideline. He later accused S Darnell Savage (#26) of trying to injure his knee. And then he backtracked.


LB Za’Darius Smith (#55) gets contact with RB Adrian Peterson (#26) in the backfield.


This is interesting: On a challenged play, the referee and the NFL crew are reviewing it on the south end. And the other review guy just stands alone in the north end.


Head Coach Matt LaFleur walks the sideline.


On a time out, QB Aaron Rodgers (#12) is more interested with what’s being shown on the stadium’s large screen above the north end zone.


QB Aaron Rodgers (#12) is dragged down by DL Daron Payne (#94).


QB Dwayne Haskins (#7) gets off a pass.


QB Dwayne Haskins (#7) is sacked by LB Blake Martinez (#50).


The offense awaits their turn on the field again.


It was such a nice day that most of the suites had their windows open. They may not be doing so this week, according to the weather forecast.



Another long gain by RB Aaron Jones (33).


RB Jamaal Williams (#30) is not so fortunate.


Great look on DL Tyler Lancaster’s (#95) face as he can’t get to RB Adrian Peterson (#26).


The Smith Brothers: LB Preston Smith (#91) and LB Za’Darius Smith (#55) get together to take down QB Dwayne Haskins (#7).


This was not a marquee game for FOX — Play-by-play man Kenny Albert was joined by analyst Ronde Barber and sideline reporter Lindsay Czarniak.


The usual Packers Radio Network team of Wayne Larrivee (play-by-play), two-time Packers Pro Bowler Larry McCarren (analyst), and three-time Packers Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro John Kuhn (sideline) covered the action. In the booth to the right, we see Packers’ CEO Mark Murphy and GM Brian Gutekunst.


Switching quarters and ends of the field again.


QB Aaron Rodgers (#12) looks for an open receiver...


... but with a hole that big, he decides to run instead.


An offensive close-up.


QB Aaron Rodgers (#12) falls victim to another sack.


RB Jamaal Williams (#30) receiving the fake handoff.


More positive yardage for RB Aaron Jones (#33) — he gained 134 yard on the ground and 58 yards through the air.


Not too much “blaze orange” in the Lambeau Field crowd.


A time out, and some of the crowd.


The defense, about to give up a cheap TD in “garbage time.”


Panoramic view from the Packerville, U.S.A. seats.


Victory formation.


The final score — and LB Za’Darius Smith (#55) taking a selfie.


QB Aaron Rodgers (#12) being interviewed on the field after the game.


The fans head home into the December late afternoon sunlight.


Your Packerville, U.S.A. editor heartily endorses another win.


Walking back to the car. Only one home game to go? We’ll see...
