Kirk Cousins named NFC offensive player of the week

In leading the Redskins to six games in eight games, Cousins has 2,398 yards and 16 touchdowns with just four interceptions.

19 – The number of consecutive games in which the Skins defense has at least one sack, tying with the Cowboys and Packers for the longest active streak in the NFC.

The Washington Redskins’ looming Thanksgiving matchup with the Dallas Cowboys, a pivotal game in the NFC East and playoff picture, was already on the cornerback’s mind.

“Oh, boy, this is going to be a quick turnaround”, Norman told reporters when reminded about the short week. Even if you don’t like one of these two teams, this is going to be a must-watch game.

“We’re feeling good, but at the same time it’s a short week and we’re playing one of the best teams in the National Football League on Thursday”, Cousins said.

Quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 21 of 30 passes for 375 yards and three touchdowns, finishing with a passer rating of 145.8.

It was Cousins’ 17th career 300-yard game, including the postseason, setting a team record. “I feel like I came out, I was into something and those guys pulled me out, put me on their back and kept going and that’s what we did”. However, the Dallas Cowboys are the best team in football and are downright impossible to bet against in their current form.

They haven’t had a losing season since Aaron Rodgers’ first year as the starting quarterback in 2008. “If we’ve got to reinvent the wheel in Week 11 or Week 12, we haven’t set our plan the right way for the season”. I’m trying to do everything I can possibly do to get my body right and ready for the game. “We’re in a tough stretch”. With the Redskins trailing 10 to 7 late in the period, Rob Kelley scored on a 10-yard touchdown run.

The Packers mid-season skid continues after a rough evening for the Green Bay defense against Washington.

The Packers (4-6) lost in their last four games and lost five of their last six, allowing 30 points or more in all of the defeats.

He was asking for too much money. “We have video of us doing it”.

The Green Bay defense allowed Washington to convert 9-of-14 (84 percent) third downs. “When we have that type of balance, we’re unsafe, and that’s why Dallas is 9-1 right now, because they are playing with great balance”. Cousins picked on just about every member of the Packers’ secondary and had a pair of touchdowns on deep balls – a 44-yarder to Jamison Crowder against Quinten Rollins and a 70-yarder to Pierre Garcon against LaDarius Gunter.

The Packers had the Redskins stopped, forcing what seemed would be a punt on fourth and short, but Redskins coach Jay Gruden made a decision to go for it to keep possession of the ball midway through the fourth quarter. Really. He’s been a good quarterback in the rain and the wind. Their running games are very explosive as both teams are ranked inside the top 10, with Dallas at the 2nd spot with that massive offensive line. But Cook also fumbled in the fourth quarter.
