LOVERRO: Kirk Cousins’ big day sends message in Redskins’ victory over Saints

Two things are for sure: 1. At all. “I’m 55, and I’d have a good rating against the Saints!” he said. The first half of the chapters have, but not the last half. It was a much needed win for a Redskins team that still has a shot at the playoffs when you consider the lousy state of the NFC East, putting Washington only one game behind the division lead. “Nobody wants to go into the bye thinking about mistakes and the miscues you had from a loss”. “And the fashion we lost in is a little bit embarrassing”. The Saints will be going back to Washington to return to the scene of that play. Washington had the ball for 20:20 to just 9:40 for the Saints.

Cousins’ dad’s first game was the best of his career. Safety Dashon Goldson intercepted a tipped pass and ran it back 38 yards for a pick-six to extend the lead to 44-14.

After Jones scored the go-ahead a touchdown, kicker Nick Hopkins added a pair of field goals late in the half, including one after a Cousins interception was nullified by a Saints’ holding penalty.

The Redskins outgained New Orleans 394-190 in the first half as Cousins completed 17-of-20 passes for 296 yards and three scores. Chris Thompson will only be in on passing downs. In addition to catching the ball well, Ingram has been a very physically punishing runner this year and has been living up to his draft position that many felt was wasted.

“Obviously it was a poor performance”, Payton said. Specifically, the Saints are struggling to stop opposing quarterbacks. We’ve got a good football team.

Washington’s opening possession set the tone. When we watch the Saints Redskins game live streaming or on TV today, there could be multiple Saints touchdowns in the first quarter alone. Although Drew Brees still can orchestrate one of the most elite offenses in the league, Washington knew they would have their chances to put up points as well against a bad Saints defense.

We are only giving one Thumbs a Down today. It’s just not our standard.

Washington put away the game in the third quarter. Redskins have won last three at home. “Be professionals, come to work, grind and improve on what we didn’t do well, which is going to be a lot looking at the film”.

“For us to win games we’ve got to force turnovers”, Saints linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar said.

Because the rest of the season, Brees said, is a sprint after the break. Let’s recharge the battery. It would honestly be better if the Saints did not use a defensive coordinator this season! “We have no other choice”.

The stats say the Saints haven’t yet found a niche for talented RB CJ Spiller. If he is able to keep up with Drew Brees, this game could turn into quite the entertaining matchup. Period”, he said. “That’ll be every game. They throwing and running game will both get a great opportunity this week against a Redskins team that hasn’t been great on defense.
