Take the points with the Redskins against Giants

He played 158 games in his 11 years with the Patriots, compiling 351 tackles, 16 sacks, four forced fumbles, and three interceptions.

The Washington Redskins held off a fourth-quarter fightback from the New York Giants to move level with their divisional rivals at the top of the NFC East courtesy of a 20-14 victory at FedEx Field this evening. The Giants made it interesting in the fourth quarter, but they did next to nothing in the first three quarters. Today’s three penalties cost Washington 30 yards.

An effort at a hook and lateral on the final play of the game came up short.

Those would be the first of 17 unanswered points in the second quarter as DeSean Jackson notched the first touchdown of the evening – and his fifth career score against the Giants – by latching on to a deep pass from Kirk Cousins to complete the 63-yard score.

On a chilly, dreary day, New York’s first two possessions ended when passes by Manning went in and out of receivers’ hands and were picked off – first by linebacker Perry Riley Jr., then by cornerback Will Blackmon. The other key component the Redskins ask of Cousins is to take care of the football.

The Washington Redskins were in a must win the situation in week 12 against the New York Giants and they got the win at home that they needed as they defeated the Giants 20-14.

But the second half saw the Chiefs (6-5) handle Watkins, force a Taylor fumble and the Kansas City offense caught fire behind quarterback Alex Smith, wide receiver Jeremy Maclin and running back Spencer Ware. But both teams won’t lay down and will do their part to keep the Redskins from the playoffs, even if it means sending the Giants there. They drove to the Giants’ 24 and Hopkins kicked a field goal. Donnell, who has caught 29 passes for 233 yards and two touchdowns, said he was perplexed by the injury.

“I felt like we played well in all phases of the game”, Dalton said. The Vikings are the better team and should get the win here.

“I tried to catch it and it is what it is. It was his ability to get behind the defense with his speed and then track the football in the air that’s so special”.

Jay Cutler threw for 200 yards and a touchdown to help his team over the line. “He gave me a good release off of the ball and ran a slant and I just immediately undercut it”.

A review of this play would confirm the ruling on the field. PROBABLE: S Dashon Goldson (knee, hamstring, wrist), CB DeAngelo Hall (toe), DE Jason Hatcher (knee), LB Ryan Kerrigan (hand), NT Terrance Knighton (migraine), C Josh LeRibeus (ankle, shoulder), RB Alfred Morris (rib), WR Andre Roberts (ankle), G Brandon Scherff (thigh), T Trent Williams (knee). “They wanted it more“, Gruden said. “I’ve broken arms, broken legs and I knew they were broken”.

Saturday’s gathering of players – no coaches allowed – was not the only one the Redskins have organized this season, but it might very well have been the most important one.

Fellow receiver Odell Beckham Jr. had nine receptions for 141 yards and a touchdown, his fourth-straight game with at least 100 yards and his sixth of the year.
