About Washington Commanders vs. Green Bay Packers
The Packers and Washington Commanders rivalry has often been described as a bit of a paradox. It is one of the oldest in the League. It began in 1932 when the team was established as the Boston Braves. While this rivalry spans over eight decades, the two teams have played only 33 games against each other - excluding the three post-season games.
It is true that Commanders, formerly Redskins, never faced the Packers during the Packers dynasty of the 1960s, nonetheless, the two teams share between them significant NFL history and one legendary coach, Vince Lombardi.
The 33 games that the two teams have played were enough to make some of the most memorable moments in NFL history.
