The Green Bay Packers (1-0-1) got a taste of their own medicine last week. After Aaron Rodgers led a heroic Week 1 comeback from down 20-0 against the Chicago Bears, Kirk Cousins led a late drive at Lambeau Field to help the Minnesota Vikings tie the Packers in a crucial NFC North matchup.
The Packers prepare for their first road game of the season as they head east to take on the Washington Redskins (1-1) at FedEx Field on Saturday afternoon.
The game is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on Fox in select areas (coverage map here). If the game is on in your market and you don’t have cable or can’t get to a TV, you can still watch a live stream of the game (or DVR it) on your computer, phone or streaming device by signing up for one of the following cable-free, live-TV streaming services:

Preview
The Packers could very well be 0-2, but Rodgers continues to mystify NFL fans with his dazzling performances. As previously mentioned, it was actually Cousins, who tossed four touchdowns against a revamped Packers secondary last week, including a threading-the-needle type of throw to Adam Thielen reserved for the league’s elite arms, that dazzled last week.
Still, there are many positives for Green Bay so far this season, and much of it has to do with how the defense has played thus far — a controversial Clay Matthews penalty last week notwithstanding, which ultimately ended up costing the Packers a better opportunity for a victory. That defense will sustain a small blow this week, as cornerback Kevin King is out with a groin injury.
The Redskins never seemed to get going in a disappointing 21-9 home loss to the Indianapolis Colts last week. Washington was firing on all cylinders in a Week 1 thumping of the Arizona Cardinals in the desert.
After rushing for over 100 yards in his debut for the Redskins, Adrian Peterson was completely held in check by the Colts defense, rushing for just 20 yards on 11 carries. A bulk of the production for Washington came from another running back, Chris Thompson, who with Alex Smith has been highlighted more this season. Thompson hauled in a team record 13 receptions for 92 yards, but was mostly held to short and moderate gains, nothing game-breaking.
