Linebacker Mychal Kendricks faulty coverage of Reed on the 12-yard touchdown pass from Cousins, concluding a 7-play, 61-yard drive that gave Washington a 13-7 with 1:00 left in the first quarter. Cousins enjoyed ample time in the pocket and dissected the middle of the Eagles’ secondary, moving the ball seemingly at will. Jordan Reed was on the receiving end of both first-quarter touchdown passes.

Miami vs. Washington State Football
Braxton Berriors’ 65-yard run to the WSU 5-yard line set up Walton’s score that cut the deficit to 20-14 with 13 minutes to play. Head coach Mike Leach , in his fourth season at Washington State , picked up his first bowl victory with the university.
On a third and short, Bradford took a snap from the shotgun and pitched the ball to running back DeMarco Murray, who couldn’t get a grasp on it. The ball spurted free, allowing Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall to scoop it and run 17 yards for a touchdown.
Jordan Matthews scored on an 8-yard pass from Sam Bradford (37-for-56, 380 yards) late in the proceedings.
Cousins finished with 364 yards passing and four touchdowns.
The Eagles fell to 6-9, missing the playoffs for the second time in three years under coach Chip Kelly.
The Redskins, now 8-7 and winners of their past three games, gave the Giants exactly what they deserved for losing six games this season in the final minutes.
The Redskins have gone on to win five of their last eight games, and Cousins has been a central reason for that, throwing for an average of 275.6 yards per game for 16 touchdowns and just three interceptions.
Because of the void in the backfield left by Jones, Morris must return to form as he has struggled to find the end zone in 2015.
“I just thought those guys up front were blocking well and I was kind of getting in a groove”, said Murray, who began the season as the team’s feature back, but has clearly been demoted in recent weeks. Just last week, Murray was non-existent with only two carries for 3 yards.
“I think it’s frustrating because I’ve seen us do it the right way and I’ve seen us play well”, Kelly said Monday.

If that matchup comes to fruition, Washington will look to avenge a 24-14 loss to Seattle Jan. 6, 2013, at FedExField, a loss that halted the Redskins’ seven-game winning streak to end the regular season.
That play extended Washington’s lead to 30-17, and the Redskins never looked back. He has been one of their most consistent players all season and with some more help around him will continue to get better.
Coming out of a timeout, the clock was stopped with six seconds to play in the second quarter. Philadelphia is already down a starter at that position in Nolan Carroll, who is on injured reserve. His miss, which came in the first quarter, was neutralized by Jamison Crowder’s two point conversion reception in the fourth quarter, but it’s an error that, in a closer game, could have proved costly.
Once an embattled, turnover-prone quarterback, Kirk Cousins has finally blossomed while leading the Washington Redskins to the brink of the NFC East title.
