1942 NFL Semifinal-Washington Redskins-38, Green Bay Packers-21



December 13, 1942

Weather-37 degrees, wind 9 mph WSW, light rain

Andy Farkas ran for 119 yards and 3 touchdowns to lead the Washington Redskins to a 38-21 victory over the defending champion Green Bay Packers at Griffith Stadium. Farkas was excellent in the red zone, but the whole Redskins ground game was dominant. Along with Farkas, Dick Todd finished with 79 yards on the ground and Ray Hare finished with 75. Washington ran for 305 yards as a team, as they controlled the clock, leaving the high powered Packers passing game off of the field.

Washington marched the length of the field for touchdowns the first 2 times they touched the ball against Green Bay. By halftime, Washington had a 28-7 lead and cruised to victory from there. Cecil Isbell threw for 151 yards and 2 TD for Green Bay.
