It’s a preseason clash between the Green Bay Packers and the Washington Redskins. Here is the place to find out where you can watch this contest.
It was less than two years ago that the Green Bay Packers and Washington Redskins were squaring off in the 2015 NFC Wild Card Playoffs. Even more recently, the teams collided on a Sunday night at FedExField. This past season, Jay Gruden’s club held off Aaron Rodgers and company, 42-24.
That proved to be the last regular-season loss for the Packers in 2016. They would reach the NFC title game, falling to the Atlanta Falcons. Meanwhile, the ‘Skins would drop four of their last six contests to finish 8-7-1 and out of the playoffs.
What does it mean? It’s safe to say these clubs know each other. And since this is the second preseason game for both teams this summer, we should see a lot more of the familiar faces for both squads.
