<p>The Redskins' win over the Packers may have come with a pretty significant cost. Both offensive tackles -- Trent Williams and Jammal Brown -- went down with knee injuries. Brown <a href="http://twitter.com/Rich_Campbell/statuses/26973209525">told reporters</a> afterwards that he sprained his knee, while Williams was<a href="http://twitter.com/SkyKerstein/statuses/26971306722"> limping around</a> in the locker room. Both players said <a href="http://twitter.com/john_keim/statuses/26971308518">they would have MRIs tomorrow</a>.</p>
<p>Brown left the game late in the third quarter, while Williams was hurt on the final play of regulation. Williams came back on the Redskins' first drive of overtime, but was having trouble moving, so he did not return for the game-winning drive. </p>

<p>All game long, the Redskins somehow stayed in the game as the Green Bay Packers seemingly dominated. It seems improbable. But somehow, they did it, and now, thanks to a Graham Gano game-winning field goal, they have knocked off one of the best teams in the NFC.</p>
<p>Gano nailed a 33-yard field goal on the fourth possession in overtime, giving the Redskins a 16-13 victory. The play was set up by an interception by LaRon Landry, and the drive was prolonged by two pass interference penalties - one on a 3rd and 1, and one on Charles Woodson on a 2nd and 15 - both from the 30-yard line.</p>
<p>The Redskins were undoubtedly helped by the absence of Packers pass rushing demon Clay Matthews, but they also had injuries of their own. Offensive tackle Jammal Brown left the game in the fourth quarter, and Trent Williams, the other tackle, was limited after hurting his knee on the final play of regulation.</p>
<p>It still makes no sense that the Redskins won, but they did, and they now sit in first place in the NFC East. </p>

<p>LaRon Landry continues his Pro Bowl campaign.</p>
<p>With the Packers trying to win in overtime, LaRon Landry intercepted Aaron Rodgers on the second play of the drive. He returned the ball to the Packers' 24-yard line before an instant replay. The review confirmed the interception, but found that Landry was down by contact immediately after making the catch, so the return was taken away.</p>
<p>The Redskins start their drive on the 39-yard line, and they are going for the win.</p>

<p>Trent Williams, listed as questionable to return, has indeed returned. He has a bruised left knee according to <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/Russellmania09/status/26968193928">Chris Russell of ESPN 980</a>.</p>
<p>Williams was in on each of Washington's four plays on their first possession of overtime, but still with a noticeable limp. He appeared slow in pass protection as Donovan McNabb was pressured on each play.</p>

<p>The Redskins were left with just one second on the clock after Mason Crosby's missed field goal attempt. The natural call: a Hail Mary attempt.</p>
<p>Donovan McNabb's long pass was intercepted by Packers cornerback and punt returner Tramon Williams. He would return the ball 64-yards before being awkwardly tackled by Redskins top draft pick Trent Williams. Williams' leg got caught underneath him, and was in visible pain after the play.</p>
<p>Williams did manage to walk off the field on his own power, but with a noticeable limp. His return is listed as questionable due to a left knee injury.</p>
<p>With Williams and Jammal Brown both out, the Redskins offensive line is in shambles.</p>

<p>In a game where the Redskins have been holding on for dear life, it's only fitting that a matter of inches brought this game to overtime. Packers kicker Mason Crosby had a chance to give the Packers the win, but his 53-yard field goal riccoched off the left upright. </p>
<p>The kick had plenty of distance, but curved left until finally hitting off the upright.</p>
<p>Aaron Rogers put the Packers in field goal position by going 44 yards in 1:07. He got them to the 36-yard line with a beautiful slant pass to James Jones. </p>
<p>The game will now head to overtime, and the Packers have won the coin toss.</p>

<p>After he missed from 51-yards earlier in the quarter, Redskins kicker Graham Gano has tied the game at 13.</p>
<p>The Packers had the chance to ice the game on the previous possession, but Lorenzo Alexander and London Fletcher combined to sack Aaron Rodgers to give Green Bay a long third down.</p>
<p>With Clay Matthews still on the sideline, Donovan McNabb took over. The Redskins threw the ball on four out of six plays, including a powerful reception by Chris Cooley netted the team 30-yards, most of them coming after the catch.</p>
<p>Gano capped off the drive with a 45-yard field goal.</p>

<p>Redskins kicker Graham Gano has a big leg, but has yet to prove he can be accurate from long distances. That trend continued just now, as he pushed a 51-yard field goal wide right that would have tied the game against the Packers at 13. </p>
<p>The Redskins got in position thanks to two big plays by Anthony Armstrong, one that happened when he caught a tipped pass and scampered forward for a first down on 3rd and 9. However, McNabb missed Joey Galloway on a third down pass, forcing Gano into the 51 yarder. It looked like Santana Moss was open underneath on the play.</p>
<p>The Packers now have the ball with under seven minutes left. </p>
