That was more like it, Green Bay Packers fans!

The Packers may have come into the playoffs losing two straight and six of 10 since their 6-0 start to 2015, but they began their playoff appearance with a 35-18 win over the Washington Redskins.

Winning doesn’t cure all that ails this team, but it sure feels nice to be on the positive end of things after how this season has tended to feel.

How did they do it?
