The Washington Redskins will host the Green Bay Packers in a first-round NFL playoff game on Sunday at 4:40 p.m.
The Redskins (9-7) finished the regular season with a four-game winning streak, defeating the Dallas Cowboys, 34-23, yesterday.
Green Bay (10-6) lost to Minnesota, 20-13, last night, to fall to the wild card. The Packers lost six of their last 10 games after starting the season 6-0.
Washington opens as a one-point favorite.
The book, with additional reporting by Zach Pereles, Scott Ratcliffe and Scott German, will take you from the aftermath of the stunning first-round loss to UMBC in 2018, and how coach Tony Bennett and his team used that loss as the source of strength, through to the ACC regular-season championship, the run to the Final Four, and the thrilling overtime win over Texas Tech to win the 2019 national title, the first in school history.
