Cousins has ‘perfect’ tuneup as Redskins top Cowboys 34-23

REDSKINS: OUT: CB Quinton Dunbar (quadriceps), S Dashon Goldson (shoulder, rib).

Defensive end Greg Hardy summed up the season: “It was no good”.

The Washington Redskins haven’t lost since Dallas beat them for the Cowboys’ only win without Tony Romo this season.

Washington has already wrapped up a spot in the post season, the Redskins have the NFC East all taken care of, but heading into the playoffs off a loss isn’t something they want.

Colt McCoy replaced Cousins at quarterback for Washington. “We challenged each other in the locker room and just to go out and really take advantage of the opportunity that we have, which is if we win out, we make the playoffs”.

Kirk Cousins has found a groove and has been one of the most productive quarterbacks over the past month.

Moore had two turnovers in the first quarter, an interception and fumbled snap, leading to Washington touchdowns that put Dallas in a huge hole. LB Ryan Kerrigan had sack in last Dallas game and is only National Football League play since 2011 with at least 45 sacks and two interception returns for scores….

Washington Redskins’ Kirk Cousins (8) and Morgan Moses (76) celebrate with Pierre Garcon (88) after Garcon’s touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys in the first half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Jan. 3, 2016, in Arlingt… “I think it says a lot about not only Kirk, but the entire offense”.

Dallas finished with its fewest wins since going 1-15 in 1989, after Jones bought the team and fired legendary coach Tom Landry.

Overcoming a rough first quarter, former Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore had an outstanding final three quarters for the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday in their season finale against the Washington Redskins.

Admittedly, not many. From an unexpected quarterback change in the pre-season, to a rocky start in which they won just three games before the Bye, the Redskins’ season has been nothing short of a roller coaster ride. He will end up missing the final two games as well.

Reasons to be excited: The Redskins’ offense continues to click, from the play-calling to the execution. Washington inactives: LT Trent Williams, QB Robert Griffin III, DE Jason Hatcher, RB Matt Jones, S Dashon Goldson, CB Quinton Dunbar and LB Perry Riley, Jr. “All our guys are starting”, Gruden said. “I’d like to end on a four-game winning streak, win three games in a row on the road”.

There’s no question Washington wanted to win the game.

Safety Kyshoen Jarrett left the game with a concussion in the first quarter after a jarring collision with Dallas running back Darren McFadden. “I love the way he just stayed committed to this franchise and just kept working and he’s a big part of our success moving forward”. Crowder caught 5 passes for 109 yards and a TD.

“In practice, he’s one of those guys that practices exactly like he plays, and that’s full speed”.

What if I told you it belonged to the Redskins? Moore is hoping for that shot.
