Washington’s 24-10 defeat at the Green Bay Packers in Week 7 marked its third consecutive loss. WFT actually led the game in time of possession (32:54 to 27:06) and outgained the Packers 430 to 304 in total yards but was plagued by inefficiencies on fourth down and in the red zone. Washington failed to come away with a single point from four trips inside Green Bay’s 20-yard line and turned the ball over three times on downs.
QB Taylor Heinicke tossed for 268 yards with 1 touchdown and 1 interception on 25-for-37 passing and also led the team with 95 yards on 10 carries. WR Terry McLaurin picked up 122 receiving yards on 7 catches from 12 targets.
Denver also took a loss in Week 7 as it was defeated 17-14 on the road at the Cleveland Browns in the Thursday night game. The Broncos were held off the scoresheet through the entirety of the first half and were dominated in time of possession throughout the game. The Broncos also struggled to get their ground game going as they finished with just 41 rushing yards to the Browns’ 182.
The Broncos have dropped four straight games straight up and against the spread since opening the season 3-0 SU/ATS. Washington has dropped back-to-back games as its scored just 23 combined points against the Kansas City Chiefs and the Packers.
