It won’t be only a problem for Cousins when he needs to think of how he can get a long term deal at the end of this.

You might excuse the defense for it because they are often on the field too often (Washington has had the ball on offense just 55:42 compared to 66:08 by their opponents) but this was supposed to be a revamped defense. Nonetheless, the Cowboys played a great game that was winnable for the Washington Redskins.
CHARGERS 38, JAGUARS 14: In San Diego, Philip Rivers matched his career-high with four touchdown passes, including two to Travis Benjamin, and Melvin Gordon ran for one score to lead San Diego.
While some of these passes are perhaps slightly nit-picky, they all go down as missed opportunities.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Cam Newton threw for 353 yards and four touchdowns, and the Panthers overcame four turnovers. That left the Pro Bowl tight end wide open on a seam route.
Newton threw two TD passes to Kelvin Benjamin and one each to Greg Olsen and Devin Funchess to pass Jake Delhomme for most TD passes in franchise history with 122. Jackson gets separation, as he normally does on comeback routes given his deep-threat ability, but Cousins’s throw hits the trailing cornerback in the chest.
Things did not start auspiciously for Cousins and the Redskins during a scoreless first quarter of what would become a 27-23 loss to the division rival Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Reed cuts in behind Lee, but Lee reads Cousins and breaks on the ball. “Said the source, ‘At least he’d play with poise'”. The Cowboys went 94 yards in nine plays to make it 10-0. He was the one who made the play. “No other way that I can get that feeling – especially being in somebody else’s place and feeling the air come out of the building”, Durant said.
The first half was a mixed bag for the Redskins, beginning with a disastrous first quarter. He stared down Garcon, leading Cowboys safety Barry Church to the interception, and didn’t look to check where Church was on the back side of the play.

Washington did get the ball back with 1:30 left to play, but a fourth-down Hail Mary pass from the Cowboys” 41 on the final play of the game sailed out of the back of the end zone and the “Skins remained winless. That’s what I’ve done my whole life, my whole life as a football player. The Cowboys defense didn’t stop Washington’s offense; Cousins blunders stopped Washington’s offense. Although Washington is now 3-for-10 in the red zone this season, getting to the red zone 10 times in two games is impressive.
