Packers...17 Redskins...14
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Charles Woodson returned a fumble 57 yards for the go-ahead touchdown as the Green Bay Packers rallied to beat the Washington Redskins, 17-14, in soggy conditions at Lambeau Field.
Packers defensive lineman Corey Williams stripped Santana Moss on an end-around late in the third quarter. Woodson picked up the ball to put the Packers ahead.
Green Bay won despite an off day from the league’s top passing offense and Brett Favre, who became the NFL’s career interception king with an errant pass picked off by Redskins safety Sean Taylor in the third quarter.
Favre has had 278 passes intercepted, one more than George Blanda.
The Packers (5-1) recovered from their first loss of the season against Chicago last Sunday, regaining momentum as they head into their off week.
The Redskins (3-2) baffled a pass-happy NFC North offense for the second week in a row after beating Detroit, but offensive mistakes cost them.
Quoteworthy: “We feel good about being 5-1, but we’re a team that needs to clean our house.” -- Mike McCarthy, Packers coach
