The Washington Redskins and Green Bay Packers are both looking for their first win of the season and will meet each other Sunday for Week 2 action at 1:00 p.m. ET.
The Packers lost their season opener last week to a quarterback who is widely considered a mobile threat, only to be picked a part through the air in their 34-28 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. In Week 2 they'll face a similar threat in Robert Griffin III.
49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick torched the Packers defense throwing for a career-high 412 yards and three touchdowns-while rushing for just 22 yards on the ground.
"When you're playing a quarterback that has those kinds of talents and can move around and has a strong arm, you've got to be able to (stop) both (aspects of his game)," defensive coordinator Dom Capers said. "We played one phase well, we didn't play the other phase well enough."
As for Griffin and the Redskins, they're coming off a Monday night 33-27 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, where a fumble, an interception and botched pitch lead Griffin to throw a career-most 49 passes all while rushing for only 24 yards. He set career highs of 30 completions and 329 yards passing while tossing two touchdowns, but he also threw a pair of interceptions for the first time as a pro.
"I'm responsible for the way I play," Griffin said. "You move on from it. I'm not going to sit here and say I was rusty. I've got to be accountable."
Redskins receiver Pierre Garcon, who caught seven passes for 64 yards Monday, knows his team is in for a tough environment.
"You never want to start 0-2," Garcon said. "I know it's going to be loud, it's their home opener and we're looking forward to a good game."
