NBC's SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL -- primetime television's No. 1 show -- continues this week when Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers visit Kirk Cousins and the Washington Redskins in a rematch of last season's NFC Wild Card game. Coverage begins with FOOTBALL NIGHT IN AMERICA this Sunday, November 20, at 7 p.m. ET on NBC.
In last season's NFC Wild Card game, Rodgers passed for 480 yards and four touchdowns in Green Bay's 35-18 win over Washington. Packers WR Jordy Nelson had two receiving touchdowns in that game, and is currently tied for the top spot in the league with eight touchdown catches. Including the postseason, Green Bay has won six of its last seven games against Washington.
The Redskins defeated the
VIKINGS 26-20 in Week 10, as rookie RB Rob Kelley rushed for a career-high 97 yards. Cousins has seven touchdown passes in his past three home games for a 103.5 rating, leading the Redskins to three consecutive home victories. Sunday's game marks the first time Green Bay and Washington will meet on NBC's Sunday Night Football.
