Bills Watkins demands more accountability from teammates

Since he is 30 years of age and has a $12.9 million salary, the Buffalo Bills might allow him to walk away after the season. Two of his touchdown passes went to tight end Jordan Reed. “You like that! You like that!”

If the Redskins can get the same result, a team that won seven games combined the previous two seasons will be headed somewhere very few thought possible when this season began. “They love you one week, and who knows what will happen the next week?”

After having four more touchdown passes Sunday, the Washington Redskins’ Kirk Cousins is hovering around the NFL’s top 10 in both passer rating and Total QBR through Week 15.

First, running back Mike Gillislee ran 60 yards for a score, and then Taylor found Watkins behind two defenders for a 48-yard strike with 3:56 left in the quarter. “And if we get the job done”. They are now tied with the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants atop the NFC East division.

“We still have a dogfight in front of us”.

“We’ve got to take over as players”.

At 6-8, meanwhile, the Bills are assured of missing the playoffs.

“Did it go according to plan? No, not this year”, said Rex Ryan, who is in his first season as Buffalo’s coach.

Fans repeatedly responded to touchdowns with full-throated serenades of “You like that!” – a reference to what Cousins screamed as he trotted to the locker room after a comeback victory earlier this season. Thus was born a meme – and fans serenaded him with the phrase Sunday.

Cousins tweeted post-game: “Things I like: 1) Skins win; 2) Shake Shack after a Skins win; 3) Hearing people say “You Like That” while eating Shake Shack after a Skins win!” “For me to make a point about it, I face that defense in practice each day”. Cousins, who did raise cash for charity by selling T-shirts with those words, finished 22 for 28 for 319 yards and no interceptions. A win in Philadelphia next weekend will see the Skins wrap up the NFC East title with a week remaining. When former Redskins kicker Graham Gano beat the Giants with a 43-yard field goal, current Washington players unleashed a loud celebration.

Head coach Rex Ryan was brought in as the man to end the streak. Now the duo – plus offensive line coach Bill Callahan – hammer out plays on Tuesdays and McVay lets loose on game days. While Washington’s real problems with their roster go far beyond just the quarterback position, Cousins is making the biggest impact at the most impactful position on the field. Instead defensive end Mario Williams burst through and gobbled up Jones, rendering him unavailable for a pass. “That’s obvious. You just wait and see if your number is called, that’s all”.

Even when Washington made a potentially bad mistake of its own – rookie returner Jamison Crowder fumbled a punt near midfield – Buffalo couldn’t take advantage.

“Great balance going on right now”, Gruden said. LeSean McCoy suffered a knee injury against the Redskins. This touchdown came on a 12-yard Kirk Cousins run to put the Redskins ahead 14-0 early in the second quarter. Jackson had a season high 153 yards, including a deep touchdown catch.

“Probably a good chance of that”, Ryan said. “But I guess I was wrong”.
