Redskins poised to lock up NFC East on Saturday night

After thousands of people at FedEx Field shouted “You Like That?!?” during Washington’s victory over the Buffalo Bills in Week 15 to move to 7-7 on the year, Cousins has reportedly begun filling out the paper work to trademark his catch phrase, according to ESPN’s Darren Rovell. “They love you one week, and who knows what will happen the next week? And we have to focus on what we have to focus on”.

The Redskins were better than OK on Sunday, storming to a 28-3 lead by scoring touchdown on each of their first four full possessions. Sam Bradford is completing 63.7 percent of his passes for 3,025 yards, 16 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.

Kirk Cousins has been among the league’s most effective quarterbacks since Jackson’s Week 9 return from a hamstring injury, generating a 71.0 completion percentage, 8.82 yards per attempt and a 112.4 passer rating.

Watkins indicated that the locker room perhaps pays too much attention to what’s said outside the walls of One Bills Drive. Containing Jackson will be key, but the defense simply has to figure out how to play fundamental football. “Hopefully we can keep it up, get into the playoffs and make some noise”. “Like myself, I have to step up and speak to the team”. On the ground, Alfred Morris rushed for 84 yards in 14 attempts while Matt Jones added 28 yards in 10 attempts. Yes, the NFC East stinks, but thanks to a two-game winning streak it is Washington now residing in first place.

“It was a huge turning point”, Gruden said.

Cousins threw four touchdowns in Sunday’s 35-25 victory over Buffalo, including two to tight end Jordan Reed and a 77-yard pass to former Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson. “He had played more snaps this game than he had all season, and right at the end of the game he suffered a high-ankle sprain, so that obviously doesn’t look good”, Ryan said. “Hopefully, he’ll be ready to go this week”, Ryan said. Cousins has been a machine as of late while leading the Redskins’ offensive attack.

“As I continue to play, things are getting more and more familiar, and they will more so as time goes by”, he said. “It put me in a position to be successful”.

In the second half, Buffalo scored its first points on a field goal. I think that definitely helps especially when you’re talking about guys as far as slot receivers and tight ends and stuff like that because we’re in a lot of tight holes and a lot of tight windows. I think maybe somebody else made up that part about questioning or whatever because I don’t believe there’s one person in this building that would ever question the fact that he wasn’t legitimately sick. But if Philadelphia wins out, it’ll grab the division title and the home playoff game that comes with it. As luck would have it, this week’s opponent is…

“We have a game we need to win”, Jackson said. Washington has taken the football away from their opponents 21 times this season, but just nine of those have come by interception.

Yet here they are, still in control of their own destiny at 6-8.
