December 19, 1943
Weather-20 degrees, wind 12 mph SE, light snow
Washington's defense was dominant all day, holding the Packers to only 136 yards of offense and knocking them out of the playoffs for the second consecutive year, 10-0. Tony Canadeo was sacked 3 times and pressured all day, as Green Bay was limited to only 40 yards passing for the entire game.
Sammy Baugh was efficient throwing the ball despite the wind and snow. Baugh completed 11 of 18 and was able to convert third downs through the air all evening. Wilbur Moore scored the only touchdown of the game right before halftime. Moore also led the Redskins with 51 receiving yards.
Washington will host the New York Giants for a chance at a second straight NFL title.
