If you don’t take care of the ball, then you can’t be on the field. But on third-and-goal at the 6 with 10½ minutes left, Cousins put the ball right in Church’s gut. With the defense presumably gassed, a touchdown would be inevitable. To make matters worse, both of Washington’s opening losses have come at FedEx Field. Rookie Josh Doctson made a great 57-yard receiving catch, but it could have been a touchdown if Cousins didn’t underthrow him.

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Albert Morris (46) carries the ball into the end zone for a touchdown past Washington Redskins free safety DeAngelo Hall (23) during the second half of an NFL football game in Landover, Md., Sunday, Sept. L.A. hasn’t scored a TD yet, has tallied nine points on the season, but is 1-1. Cousins had a chance to earn his fifth game-winning drive of his career, though Washington had no timeouts left.
Sunday’s win in Washington is a sign of progress to Jones.
The belief is the source of the comments is receiver Pierre Garcon, who was visibly frustrated when Cousins threw a late interception in the endzone. Specifically, the Redskins were the beneficiaries of Dallas’ questionable onside kick attempt, as well as a fumble by Ezekiel Elliott.
Eagles fans, seeing that the Giants have squeezed out close wins against Dallas and New Orleans, Washington’s unimpressive start and Dallas being competitive but beatable, might be reevaluating their thoughts about rebuilding with a rookie quarterback.
Dak Prescott, Cowboys – He didn’t play perfectly and is still looking for his first passing touchdown of the season, but Prescott isn’t playing like a rookie with two starts in the league.
Matt Jones also found the end zone for the first time this season, and was somewhat productive on the ground, rushing 13 times for 61 yards.
Jack Crawford managed to get a sack against Cousins on a second-and-9 from the Washington 26-yard line. For example, receiver DeSean Jackson appeared to call out quarterback Robert Griffin III in 2014 with a profanity-laced Instagram post.
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. However if Prescott continues to impress, he could very well keep Romo from reclaiming his starting job. The fourth-round pick from Mississippi State went 22/30 for 292 yards. A 17-yard touchdown pass from Brees to Willie Snead IV evened things at 10 early in the quarter. Meanwhile, the Redskins also blew a sure scoring opportunity that would have extended Washington’s lead (see #2 below). Tight ends Jason Witten and Swaim caught three passes for 51 yards and two passes for 29 yards respectively. His pass coverage is disgusting, and his run defense is even worse.
“He’s got to make some tough throws and usually ones he would normally hit, but he missed a few today”, coach Jay Gruden said. What was expected to be a promising season for the Washington Redskins has been anything but in their first two games.
However, with first and goal at the 5, the Cowboys struggled.

This is the first time since Thanksgiving Day 2010 when the Cowboys had three different rushers score touchdowns.
