Washington Redskins: Dominant win over New Orleans

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (9) is pressured by Washington Redskins defensive end Jason Hatcher (97) in the fourth quarter during the game between the New Orleans Saints and Washington Redskins at FedEx Field on Sunday, November 15, 2015. Cousins completed 20-of-25 passes for 324 yards, a career-high four touchdowns, and no interceptions, for a 158.3 passer rating, the highest attainable.

“You have a flawless passer rating you’re going to be pretty good”, head coach Jay Gruden said. “For about as long as I can remember”, Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams said, “we’ve been 3-6….” I think players took a few short passes, turned them into big plays for him.

“He delivered the ball with efficiency, with great decision making and the results were outstanding obviously”. Perhaps the reason was, they did not need wide receiver production when the running backs were producing 380 yards on their own.

“To have him back was exciting, and then to have a game like that was a lot of fun, giving him the game ball”, Cousins told CSN Mid-Atlantic.

Not even the torrid arm of Drew Brees could save the New Orleans Saints last week in an overtime loss to Tennessee. I say this because their defense allows an average of 29 points per game on the road, meaning that their 27 points per game at home wouldn’t even be enough to fend off their opponents.

It was a near-ideal day – for more reasons than one.

He was asked about the possibility of personnel or coaching staff changes during his team’s upcoming bye week and said: “We’re not going to discuss any of those type of changes, certainly not right now”.

The Washington Redskins were dominant in every aspect of the game today against the New Orleans Saints.

Seven plays later Cousins hit Reed for a 16-yard touchdown, capping Washington’s longest scoring drive since a 97-yarder in December of 2000 against the Giants.

Quarterback Johnny Manziel started a second consecutive game for the Browns (2-8) because starter Josh McCown was inactive with a rib injury. Midway through the second quarter, one of those pressures worked, Trent Murphy and Chris Baker crushed Brees between them, and although Washington didn’t register another sack, the pass rush had taken the steam out of the Saints attack.

The Saints got crushed by the Washington Redskins, 47-14.

“I see his confidence growing each week”, Reed said about Cousins.

As the game went on and the dominance continued, all of the players seemed to carry themselves with confidence, and they should celebrate a win in which they were firing on all cylinders.
