Dorsey Levens doesn't start for the 1998 Green Bay Packers, but coach Mike Holmgren isn't afraid to use his backup running back.

Levens rushed for 93 yards and scored three touchdowns -- including a 49-yard sprint down the sideline early in the fourth quarter for the go-ahead as the Packers beat the 1991 Washington Redskins 31-24 in a Week 5 matchup.

Desmond Howard added a 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown for Green Bay (3-2) while Brett Favre completed 17 of 29 passes for 185 yards.

Mark Rypien threw for 260 yards for Washington (2-3) but threw a fourth-quarter interception to Eugene Robinson to stall a final drive.
