Redskins' defense looks vulnerable against Packers.(Daily Press (Newport News, Va.).)
Byline: Ryan O'Halloran
LANDOVER, Md. _ Through his offensively challenged return to the NFL, Washington Redskins coach Joe Gibbs could always count on his defense to make stops, produce turnovers and keep his team in the game.
But on Sunday, the Redskins' defense finally broke, if only for two quarters.
Green Bay coach Mike Sherman, leaning on the right arm of quarterback Brett Favre for the umpteenth time, rarely tried to run. And despite three interceptions, Favre threw for 289 yards and one touchdown in the Packers' 28-14 win at FedEx Field. It was the first time this season the Washington defense had given up four touchdowns.
"That's a good offensive team, and that guy (Favre) is a great player," Gibbs said. "They made some big plays on us. You have to figure you're not going to stop them. You're just going to try and limit them the best as you can and try to get your offense to do some things to keep them off the field."
Green Bay (4-4) scored on its first three possessions on drives of 69, 75, 76 yards, the first time the Redskins have allowed three straight scoring drives.
Favre was his Hall of Fame self in the first half, completing 14 of 18 passes for 234 yards. Entering the game, the Redskins were allowing 147.5 passing yards per game.
