1 and done: Redskins can clinch NFC East by beating Eagles
Cousins equaled his career high with four touchdown passes and ran 13 yards for another score, helping the Redskins win consecutive games for the first time in more than a year and stay atop the NFC East by beating the Buffalo Bills 35-25 on Sunday.
It’s a phrase that was coined by Cousins as he was heading to the locker room after completing a 24-point comeback against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week Seven.
Washington responded by marching 80 yards in 13 plays.
Trailing 28-3 after Jackson’s 77-yard catch and run for a touchdown early in the third quarter, Buffalo scored two quick touchdowns.
“Throughout the whole game, you hear [‘You like that?’]”, Jackson said.
It had to occur to him sometime during his victory celebration at Shake Shack when Cousins realized that he might need to trademark the phrase that is sweeping the Greater DC are: “You Like That?!?”
“We need to call people out”.
While much has been made about Sammy Watkins’ postgame comments, his play probably isn’t getting quite enough attention. “You like that?’ Everybody is rolling with it”.
The strangest part about the Bills’ loss is that they held so many statistical advantages. He’s also thrown a touchdown pass in all 14 games this season.
Twice this season, Buffalo Bills defensive end Mario Williams turned to reporters to express his frustration with his role in the defense being installed by Rex Ryan. “That was a huge stop”, Gruden said. Every day, you are evaluated, every game. The trainers feel very good about Clay’s chances, while Bradham, who suffered a setback last week, has the Bills hopeful that he can make a return this week. I’ve said all along it’s my job to be a distributor. Don’t leave him out there by himself.
Cousins is having a phenomenal season so far as the Redskins full-time signal-caller. Defensively, the Redskins yield 242.4 yards in passing and 121.3 yards in rushing. Rex said he was going for an MRI Monday. But we have a job to do before that, and that’s where my focus is: on right here and right now.
Washington will get a home game in the wild card round, likely against the Seattle Seahawks if they beat the Eagles on Saturday.
Washington’s offense appeared to be rolling during Week 15.
Whaley reportedly is upset with some of Ryan’s assistants, especially offensive coordinator Greg Roman, whom he believes should have been targeting Watkins more this season.
“We need to forget about anybody’s feelings, ” he said. “But he continues to grow and he’s playing lights-out”. I don’t think everything gets fixed in one week or one day. That gives Hughes a quarter of the Bills’ team total of 20 on the season. “I wasn’t exactly working with those ones and building a rapport with them all offseason”. Nine of Cousins’ 11 interceptions this season have been on the road. First off, Jordan Reed and DeSean Jackson are both back and producing like they were always expected to.
Watkins finished the game with 111 receiving yards and two touchdowns on five receptions.
Cousins summed up the play rather simply.
