Six plays later, Dustin Hopkins kicked a 29-yard field goal to tie the game.

The Redskins had a chance to seal a win over the Cowboys on Sunday – they were leading 23-20 late in the fourth quarter and at the Dallas 6-yard line – when Cousins threw an very bad interception to safety Barry Church.
Dak Prescott (left) threw for 292 yards and ran for a touchdown Sunday en route to becoming the first rookie quarterback to w. Norman isn’t being singled out, and he’s not the only one who likely had to pee in a cup after a loss on Sunday.
Prescott then took the Cowboys on a 10-play drive that culminated in Morris’ score.
Elliott’s fumble two plays into the next possession – his second of the game – put the unit back on the field. Thanks to that, Bryant had 102 yards receiving.
“They were up by three”, said. “I think he’s been doing a good job, just a couple of unfortunate plays out there”, wideout DeSean Jackson said. That came after a less-than-inspiring season-opening performance in a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers this past Monday.
Maybe it was just luck, or perhaps it was the team gaining confidence from a coach finally trusting his players. We want to be downhill. Said Florio’s source when asked about whether or not the frustrated players would prefer McCoy, “At least he’d play with poise”. Kirk Cousins and Washington are 0-2, and according to Pro Football Talk, the doubts around him have begun with offensive players complaining about “a lack of decisiveness, erratic play, and confusion”. Former Washington running back Alfred Morris plunged in from four yards out to give Dallas its four-point lead that it would not relinquish.
The Redskins drove to their 44. “When he comes back, I’ll leave that up to the big guys”.
The New York Giants are far from a flawless team, but they are 2-0 and the positive feelings that have surrounded the team since the start of the offseason program remain.
Though he’s completing a serviceable 65.2 percent of his passes and is third season in the National Football League with 693 passing yards, the fifth-year quarterback has thrown just one touchdown to three interceptions. This time though, the defense rose to the occasion and again held the opponent to a field goal.
The drive took only nine plays.
Cousins finished 28 of 46 for 364 yards, a touchdown and an interception. He scored a touchdown via running.
Dustin Hopkins tacked on a 36-yard field goal to make it 13-10 at halftime.
But Cousins and the defending NFC East champion Redskins will rue the second-half chances they wasted. The Washington Redskins need to run the ball. He is now paid like a big time player, but he is not quite performing like one.
Dallas quickly regained the lead.
Elliott was stripped of the ball by Josh Norman and the ball was recovered by Dashaun Phillips. The Redskins offense is built off of play action. Rookie Josh Doctson made a great 57-yard receiving catch, but it could have been a touchdown if Cousins didn’t underthrow him.
