Kirk Cousins Throws 4 Touchdowns to Lead Redskins to Victory, Division Title
In case you missed it, the Kirk Cousins and the Washington Redskins clinched the NFC East with a win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday night.

The Eagles (6-9) entered the game in control of their playoff hopes.
In fact, when all was said and done, there probably were more media members – a lot more – who predicted back in August that Jay Gruden would be the first coach in the division to be fired by the end of the season. “Second year in a row for them not to be [in the playoffs], so hopefully we can do something good, you know, carry off with this hot streak we’re in right now take it to the playoffs”. “We’ll have to wait and see if he gets back to being 100 percent”, Gruden said.
While Washington (8-7) heads to the playoffs, the Eagles and Kelly face a challenging offseason.
Every time Chip Kelly has been asked about Davis in recent weeks, he has said he still believes in him.
“I don’t think anybody in this organization can really look at themselves and feel like they’ve done really well this year”, safety Malcolm Jenkins said. But it hasn’t helped to lose players such as wide receiver DeSean Jackson – now with the Redskins – and running back LeSean McCoy.
Chip Kelly’s downfall was that Chip Kelly the coach was handcuffed by Chip Kelly the personnel man. This team simply doesn’t have enough talent. “But I’m going to continue to work as hard as I can and show up early in the morning and stay late at night and continue to work”. But it wasn’t a runaway for Washington, who allowed Buffalo to score 17 points in the third quarter.
The three most major professional sports teams in D.C.: the Redskins, Capitals and Wizards all won their respective games on the same day. If you were banking on Rodgers to come up big in the clutch in this National Football League game of the week, you were sorely disappointed after it was over. It’s become a rallying cry for the Redskins and their fans, who continued the chant for several minutes after the game.
The teams traded field goals in the second quarter, though both teams squandered multiple chances to add more points to their ledgers.
After the game, Cousins told the NFL Network crew that he can’t let that sort of thing happen and has to either throw the ball away or spike it. It’s especially bad coming out of a timeout. Against Washington, the Eagles had a pair of drops that cost them field position and a touchdown.
With six seconds left in the first half, the Redskins had the ball on the Philadelphia Eagles’ six-yard line. Bradford also overthrew a wide open Zach Ertz that would have gone for a 60-yard touchdown. Cousins competed 31 of 46 passes for 356 yards and another 4 TD passes. On three of the Redskins’ four touchdowns, Alonso was beaten on the play.
With 0:29 on the clock and first and 10 on the Redskins 29, Kirk Cousins passes deep left to Desean Jackson, pushed out of bounds for 22 yards.
Cousins then hit Reed over the middle again for a 12-yard TD pass and a 13-7 lead.

Pierre Garçon, meanwhile, hauled in seven passes for 80 yards and a touchdown.
