The Packers (3-1) beat Detroit 28-26, at home, in Week 4. QB Aaron Rodgers completed 12 of 17 passes for 181 yards with three TD’s, but two interceptions. RB Donald Driver had three carries for 89 yards with a TD, while TE Jermichael Finely and WR Greg Jennings each added a TD. Their defense pulled down two interceptions, had three sacks, but their offense gave up a fumble. The Packers are getting offense, but their defense is giving up too many points. Their score the 15th most points per-game (26.5ppg) but give up the 13th most (18.2ppg). After finishing last season with the league's top-ranked run defense, the Packers have not been nearly as good so far this season , ranking 24th in rushing yards allowed and 31st in average gain per rush (5.2) through four games. The Lions outrushed the Packers' 123-92 in Week Four. With Packers LBs A.J. Hawk and Nick Barnett (combined 22 tackles vs. Detroit) leading the charge, Green Bay could be hard-pressed to keep Eagles QB Donovan McNabb from doing similar damage on the ground (five carries for 39 yards vs. Philadelphia, with a long gain of 18).
The Redskins (2-2) won in Philadelphia 17-12 during Donovan McNabb’s return to his previous squad. McNabb made eight of 19 passes for 125 yards with a TD and an interception. RB Ryan Torian had 18 carries for 70 yards with a TD, while WR Anthony Armstrong made one catch for 57 yards. TE Chris Cooley added their lone TD. RB Clinton Portis believes he will miss this Sunday's home game against the Packers . He is awaiting the results of an MRI on his left groin and does not believe the team will allow him to play with the injury. He will take his time to make sure it's healed before returning to game action. If the six-time, 1,000-yard back can't play, second-year RB Ryan Torain will receive the bulk of the work at running back Torain set career highs by rushing 18 times for 70 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's game. The Redskins offense is ranked 17th overall with a 13th ranked pass game and 19th ranked running game. They have the second worst defense and pass rush in the league that’ll surely get abused by the Packers.
