It's Wild Card Weekend and the Packers are headed to FedEx Field for a battle with the Redskins as part of the NFL playoffs.
Aaron Rodgers Has Won Over Olivia Munn's Family
These teams have been going in opposite directions as of late. The Packers started off the season hot, but ended it with two straight losses, while the Redskins had an up-and-down year end on a high note with four straight victories.
This is Green Bay's seventh straight playoff appearance, which includes winning Super Bowl XLV in 2010, while it's Washington's first postseason game since 2012. The Redskins haven't won a playoff game since 2005. The Packers failed to clinch the NFC North for the first time in five seasons.

What To Watch For
--Just like one team is trending up and the other down, things have gone well for Redskins signal caller Kirk Cousins lately, but not for Aaron Rodgers. In the Redskins' four straight wins, Cousins has a 74.17 completion percentage with 12 touchdowns and one interception. Rodgers has had eight turnovers in his past six games, and was sacked five times last week and 13 times in his past two games.
--One reason for Cousins' success has been Jordan Reed, who has 29 catches for 378 yards and five touchdowns in the last four games. The Packers may be able to get Eddie Lacy (39 yards in his last three games) going against a Washington defense that ranked 26th against the run (122.6 yards allowed).
--The Redskins haven't defeated a team with a record over .500 this season, but the Packers have dropped four of their last five playoff games.
--Green Bay has taken five of the last six meetings against Washington, including a game where Rodgers threw for four touchdowns in 2013, which was their last meeting.
