Cousins, Redskins Beat Bears 24-21 For First Road Win

“I like the way our team fought”, Gruden said. “… I honestly feel like I cost us the game today in the first half”.

The Cardinals came into the game as favorites, but the Vikings refused to give in and wouldn’t fall away despite Arizona’s best efforts. [The Bears] made some plays – we didn’t make some plays.

“I think it’s been unfortunate it’s come down in the two games to where they’re pivotal kicks, and unfortunately, we came up a little short and didn’t connect on it”, coach John Fox said. And he got terrific help from tight end Jordan Reed, who led all receivers with nine catches for 120 yards and one touchdown.

After sleep-walking through the first two-and-a-half quarters, the Bears turned a 21-7 deficit into a 21-21 tie with two touchdowns in a 2:18 span late in the third period.

Reed was also the Redskins’ only option at tight end after Derek Carrier left early in the game with a knee injury.

It has been clear all season that when Reed is getting open, Cousins and the offense tend to move the ball much better.

The Bears followed a sad but familiar script Sunday, stumbling out of the gate, staging a mini-rally and then failing to execute with the game on the line.

But the Redskins (6-7) regained a 24-21 lead on Dustin Hopkins’ 47-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter and secured the win when Robbie Gould pushed a potential game-tying 50-yard field goal attempt wide right with 1:40 left in regulation. This was the first game of the season during which Cousins has thrown a pick in a game the Redskins went on to win.

-Kyle Fuller reeled in his second interception of the season when he jumped a route in the third quarter.

Kirk Cousins completed 5 of 5 passes for 60 yards on the first drive, which was capped by Alfred Morris’ 1-yard TD.

Gould missed another late field goal after failing to come through the previous week, and the Chicago Bears lost to the Washington Redskins 24-21 on Sunday.

The Washington Redskins take on the Chicago Bears today in a game on the NFL football schedule which sees both teams trying to overcome slow starts and losing records, and each coming off a loss that it would like to avenge.

On Sunday, the Redskins took a quick 14-0 lead by marching 80 and 93 yards for touchdowns on their first two possessions. Murphy’s sack resulted in a fumble, which was recovered by Washington.

Will the Bears be able to win this one at home or do the Redskins keep place in the NFC East? “That keeps us alive, keeps our heart pumping. And coaches are going to be ready to come back to work and be ready to get a great plan together and a great practice and have a great game against Buffalo”. “And the last two weeks I just haven’t got it done”.
