He was in uniform on the sideline for the first time this season – but as the third-stringer behind Cousins and backup Colt McCoy. Marshall and Decker played very well in the second half to make up for first-half fumbles.

Kirk Cousins was held to 196 passing yards on 25 of 43 attempts, one touchdown and two interceptions. The Jets scored touchdowns after both picks, magnifying the mistakes. On the bright side, at least nobody has mentioned Robert Griffin III. Unfortunately, Kyshoen Jarrett could not stick with Eric Decker in the slot after slipping on the route and after a couple of missed tackles the Jets were set up at the Redskins 1-yard line. The Ravens are 1-4 for the first time and play the next two games on the road.
The Redskins avoided going three-and-out with a nice catch-and-run to now-starting tight end Derek Carrier.
Truth be told, the Jets looked more than just “decent” against a subpar Redskins squad.
Chris Ivory continues to be a strong workhorse back for the J-E-T-S, as he averaged 7.3 yards per carry. At the 10:10 mark in the third quarter, Revis intercepted Cousins, his third of the season, which was the seventh interception of the season for the Jets, one less than they had all of last season.
Untouched, he got up and sprinted another 28 yards, providing momentum for the offense that was able to capitalize with three points and bring a lead into the half.

Two plays later, Breeland made another spectacular play. “Last touchdown to Marshall was on him, but looked like he got pushed in the back, but who knows”. Washington was then penalized for running into punter Ryan Quigley with 2:51 remaining on fourth-and-five and was unable to stop the clock.
Decker and Marshall atoned for coughing up the ball in the first half to help put the Jets in a 13-10 halftime hole. And Ivory has a 23 yard catch. After another Ivory first down in which Keenan Robinson was blocked by quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, the defense put their foot down. There’s a lot of things going on pre-snap that he’s got to deal with, getting the formations and protections and all that.
The Redskins will play the Buccaneers next Sunday at home.
Redskins were thought to be a serious contender for 0-16, yet already have two wins and have been plucky in their losses. The Jets are coming off a bye week, before which they had beaten their AFC East rival Miami Dolphins by a 27-14 final score in London. “The defense was going out and I had to get ready.” . However, like the offense, they kind of fell apart in the second half, allowing for 24 unanswered points.
Even as the losses continue and the interceptions mount, Kirk Cousins remains the quarterback of the Washington Redskins.
New York got the ball right back when Marcus Gilchrist picked off Cousins’ deep pass for Jamison Crowder. Washington capitalized on the Jets’ third turnover with a 30-yard field goal by Hopkins.

The Jets limited the Redskins to 34 total yards on the ground. In my opinion, the Redskins inexcusably chose to run the ball and they ended up turning the ball over on downs after being unable to beat cover zero on fourth down. But Davis recovered the onside kick. The Jets then ran the clock out the rest of the way after Washington was called for running into the kicker on a punt.
