Four more years? Maybe not.
With 2:43 left in the game and Green Bay up 20-14, Washington QB Mark Brunell connected with Clinton Portis for a 43-yard game-tying touchdown pass. The TD, however, was nullified by an illegal motion penalty on James Thrash. The very next play, Brunell’s pass was intercepted by Al Harris, who returned the ball 29 yards to the Redskins’ 36-yard line. Four Ahman Green rushes later, the Packers had another TD, and the game was all but over.
Brett Favre threw three interceptions today, including two in the 4th quarter, keeping the Redskins in the game. Favre’s hand had been bothering him this week, so perhaps it started hindering his game in the 4th quarter. Green struggled with his ground game today but finished with 70 yards rushing on 24 carries and 4 receptions for 73 yards.
Illegal motion penalty. Is that an omen for Tuesday? Hmmmm…
