Cousins, Reed set Redskins records in season finale
Now, Cousins is shatter Redskins’ records by inserting his name in the record books, passing for at least one touchdown pass in every contest this season and breaking the singe-season passing mark with his 4,135 yards.
It’s been a insane football season for Washington, who find themselves with the option of resting their starters tomorrow for a home playoff game next Sunday.
Another thing that bodes well for Washington’s offense coming into the postseason is that they will be able to run the football if they need to because they are healthy along the offensive line. The Redskins must have seven players on the inactive list, and they won’t have the luxury of suiting up more than 46 players like they could in a preseason game.
“Clearly, we didn’t get the job done, for a lot of different reasons”, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said.
The Redskins defense also played extremely well in its final regular season outing.
“I think it was a frustrating loss for us”, said receiver DeSean Jackson, who had a critical fumble on an ill-advised punt return late in the fourth quarter of that 19-16 defeat.
Kirk Cousins completed 12-of-15 passes for 176 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday’s Week 17 win over Dallas. Cousins finished his first season as the Redskins full-time starter with 4,166 yards through the air. Coupled with tight end Jordan Reed, the Redskins new passing attack is something to keep an eye on when we watch the Redskins Cowboys game live streaming or on TV today.
Shortly after he caught a 24-yard screen pass from quarterback Colt McCoy in the third quarter of the Washington Redskins’ 34-23 win against the Dallas Cowboys, the numbers flashed on the gargantuan video board at AT&T Stadium. “It was just good to know that you get rewarded for hard work and performing”.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) – Kirk Cousins had the flawless game – got a few quick scores, kept his rhythm and headed to the bench early in a playoff tuneup for the Washington Redskins.
For the Cowboys, it ends a miserable season at 4-12, as many wins as starting quarterbacks on the season. After having a great chance in the playoffs in 2014, they ended up in last place in the NFC East in 2015.
“I’d say that’s a coaches’ decision, not mine, but I can only speak for myself – I feel good and I want to play”, Cousins said. There was very little offense for the Cowboys, as Kellen Moore threw for 186 yards and Darren McFadden rushed for 99 yards. Washington’s Alfred Morris had 100 yards rushing for his first 100-yard game since the opener. “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”. However, they did fight back, and if not for two turnovers in the red zone, could have made this a closer game.
Since the advent of the 16-game schedule, the only worse seasons for the Cowboys were 3-13 in 1988 and 1-15 in 1989.
