Washington tops Green Bay, sets sights on Dallas

The Redskins defeated the Packe.

He had fun at the expense of the Packers defense, which allowed catches of 70, 53 and 44 yards. Green Bay got a traditional delay of game penalty earlier and avoided another when Rodgers called a timeout at the last second. He spent the second half of 2014 and all of the 2015 season as an inside linebacker, so he knows the position well.

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) – As the chants of “We want Dallas!”

“Hes made progression in every area of his game, and hes continuing to do so, ” coach Jay Gruden said ahead of the Redskins Thanksgiving Game against the NFC East-leading Dallas Cowboys.

As good as the Cowboys have been, the Redskins have played almost as well since that Week 2 matchup.

Indeed, the Redskins have one of the quickest turnarounds between two games that any team can face.

The team’s leading sack man, linebacker Ryan Kerrigan, acknowledged that the situation didn’t suddenly develop for the team, considering that the schedule was released in April, Still, with the game coming against the team with the best record in the National Football League, the challenge becomes even more severe.

More often than not though, Cousins’ spirals won out over the elements-and the Green Bay Packers’ secondary-in Washington’s 42-24 victory.

“We’ve got a short amount of time to get ready”, quarterback Kirk Cousins said.

It was Cousins’ 17th career 300-yard day, including the postseason, setting a team record.

And while Dallas is enjoying its lofty perch atop the league standings, the Cowboys are quite aware of what awaits Thanksgiving against longtime rival Washington at AT&T Stadium.

“We didn’t stop ’em. 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”.

“We put ourselves in a tough spot”, Rodgers said.

Cousins finished with 375 passing yards and 3 touchdowns.

“I’m always trying to prove myself and I’m always going to be evaluated as long as I play this game”, Cousins told reporters. On the next drive, Green Bay would respond with a 6-yard touchdown pass to Jared Cook from Aaron Rodgers.

For the fourth game in the row, the Green Bay Packers allowed their opponent to score over 30 points. “But we all need to perform better, and we did not get it done tonight”. “We have video of us doing it”. The Cowboys have scored fewer than 27 points just once since Week 2, and their rookie MVP candidates seem to get better each week.

Meanwhile, Kelley had the game of his life, rushing 24 times for 137 yards and three scores. “And we’ve seen that the last couple of weeks”. “They’re a really good defence”.

Dallas’ offense has been just as dominant during their winning streak, and Thursday’s contest is likely to be a high-scoring affair that has a good chance to surpass the over/under of 51. Having DeSean Jackson back should help the offense, in Sunday’s game he had six targets and caught a touchdown.
