Disappointment never ends for Buffalo Bills
His focus was already on the Eagles.
Washington (7-7) gouged Buffalo (6-8) for touchdowns on its first three possessions, and Kirk Cousins was rarely pressured in throwing for 319 yards and four scores.
The Washington Redskins (6-7) will be looking to get their first winning streak of the year while maintaining a share of the division lead with a win against the Buffalo Bills (6-7) at FedEx Field. Cousins was obviously fired up about Washington’s win over Tampa Bay and uttered the definitive phrase that has best summarized the Redskins’ push to the NFC Playoffs. So while the Giants can have Washington tie one game or the other, they can’t have the Redskins tie both. We’re grown men and this is our job.
Buffalo fell behind 28-3 to the Redskins early on Sunday and never really had a chance to mount a comeback.
Jordan Reed #86 of the Washington Redskins celebrates after scoring a touchdown against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on December 13, 2015 in Chicago, Illinois.
If you were looking for the silver lining, the Bills didn’t quit, and actually clawed back to close the gap to 11 points with 3:48 remaining the third quarter after racking up 145 yards and two touchdowns on just three snaps.
“A big letdown”, Ryan said.
The Redskins surely would rather give the 27-year-old a extension rather than pay up the franchise tag which was a stunning $18.54 million last year. “Like myself, I have to step up and speak to the team”.
Jackson caught six passes for 153 yards, while Reed had seven receptions for 84 yards. Finally, Taylor’s 450 rushing yards are third among quarterbacks behind Newton and Wilson.
Since that outburst, Watkins has averaged 7.75 targets per game – and has been unstoppable over the last four games with 459 receiving yards and six touchdowns.
“That was a huge stop”, Redskins coach Jay Gruden said. After allowing the NFL’s fourth-fewest yards and tallying an NFL-best 54 sacks last season under defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, the Bills entered Sunday ranked 19th in yards allowed this season and 30th in sacks. Ryan, in his first season in Buffalo, is on the hot seat for a defense that looked like it was sleepwalking for much of the game. We could learn a lot about him.
The Redskins, meanwhile, have gone from mistake-prone to explosive thanks to Cousins’ efficiency.
When I think of Kirk Cousins, the first thing that comes to mind is “good enough”. I put that on myself.
Receiver DeSean Jackson noted a similar quality and the fans” love for Cousins, too, saying, “We’re just doing what we can to get behind him, to stand by him….
But I’m not sure it would have mattered since Johnston seemed to be answering a different question about Washington whenever Albert tried to get him to talk about the Bills.
