He said: “It’s down to him to come in and pick us up”. “It is all in the past and we have to move on and start winning matches”. Chelsea captain John Terry believes interim manager Guus Hiddink can help lead his team near the Premier League’s top four.
After having four more touchdown passes Sunday, the Washington Redskins’ Kirk Cousins is hovering around the NFL’s top 10 in both passer rating and Total QBR through Week 15. His progressions, his reads.
New cases of E.coli at Chipotle
Chipotle said the three most recently reported illnesses all stemmed from two restaurants: one in Oklahoma and one in Kansas. The CDC has been unable to single out the exact cause of the E.coli outbreak because of the way Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc.
“I had to turn my headsets up a little bit”, Redskins coach Jay Gruden said.
Broncos’ scenario: From No. 1 seed to missing playoffs
The Broncos didn’t even get back in Pittsburgh territory in the second half until there was about three minutes left in the game. Head coach Mike Tomlin said after the game that the fundamental adjustment was that the team “stopped kicking (their) own butt”.
No one was more electric than Jackson, who will be returning to Philadelphia where he played for six seasons before being shunned by Chip Kelly and signing with the Redskins before the 2014 season. Remember that at one time, Cousins was a turnover-prone hot mess and on the verge of being written off. Washington may need a franchise quarterback and may desperately want that guy to be Cousins, but I’m not convinced that he is yet. “I’ve said all along, it’s my job to be a distributor and today was no different”. We very rarely got in third-and-long, especially in the first half, which enabled us to dictate the terms on first and second down.
The Bills 25-35 loss to the Redskins in Washington means Buffalo has been eliminated from playoff contention again. For a team that needed three consecutive victories to have a shot at the playoffs, they laid an egg.
“I think we’re finding ourselves at the right time”, Hatcher said. Sam Bradford completed 28 of 41 passes for 361 yards and two touchdowns against two interceptions. When LeSean McCoy went down with a knee injury Sunday, Gillislee came in and immediately ripped off a 60-yard TD run. But now when that question is asked in regards to what is thought of Cousins as the Redskins’ starting quarterback, the answer to “You like that?” is an emphatic yes in Washington.
The Eagles play the Redskins in Philly on Saturday and travel to square off with the Giants in the season finale a week after that, so they’ll have a chance to claim the division crown with head-to-head matchups on the field.
Said defensive end Mario Williams: “Of course there’s going to be changes. I don’t know who in the world’s saying what personnel they’re in, or how it’s that confusing but apparently it is because like you said, it’s game in, game out”. The 77-yard play made the score 3-28 Redskins. He ran nine times for 79 yards, and was sacked five times for minus-28 yards. On third-and-goal from the 13, Cousins rolled right, ran, and was hit inside the 5, but dove into the end zone. The score in the second stood at 21-0.
Even when Washington made a probably offensive mistake of its own – rookie returner Jamison Crowder fumbled a punt near midfield – Buffalo could not take benefit. But McCoy failed to get in three times from inside the one (one was negated by a Washington penalty) and Taylor threw incomplete on fourth down. “That was a huge stop”, Gruden said.
“Attention to detail, everybody understanding what they need to get done in order to go out there and stop them”, said Kedric Golston, who has been in on several of those goal-line stops.
