“Washington’s record is 5-6”, Coughlin said. “Guys were hurt and what have you, so it was important for everyone to step up”. Watt became the second-fastest player in league history to reach 70 sacks (Reggie White, 57 games). When the fourth-year QB avoids getting picked off this season, Washington is 5-0; when he throws at least one interception, the team is 0-6. Three of their wins have preceded double-digit losses. The second was tipped by wide receiver Dwayne Harris and into the arms of former Giant Will Blackmon, and the third was a result of Rueben Randle’s inability to cut properly in the end zone, resulting in a Quinton Dunbar interception.

Cornerback Prince Amukamara said the Giants didn’t seem very hungry in the first half.
“Any time you’re playing for something significant, it’s going to get your blood pumping a little more than usual”, Williams said in a borderline violation. They have not won two consecutive games.
When asked about the catch after the game, Beckham told reporters that the catch “doesn’t matter”, because his team still lost, according to the New York Post.
“In the game, in the process, in the game the way it was going, we were down quite significantly, not having a lot of success, and that always leads you the other way”.
The Redskins snapped a five-game losing streak against the Giants and earned their first victory against the Giants since December 3, 2012. He said he was more impressed by the rebound from last week’s 44-16 whipping at Carolina, regardless of Sunday’s opponent or stakes.
DENVER – Running back C.J. Anderson broke loose through the snow for a game-winning, 48-yard touchdown run, and the Denver Broncos rallied to beat New England 30-24 in overtime Sunday night, handing the Patriots their first loss of the season.
It was the 20th three-interception game of two-time Super Bowl MVP Manning’s career.
Overall, Gruden was pleased with his defense’s performance and called the effort on that side of the ball Washington’s “meal ticket” for succeeding down the stretch.
In that, Beckham said, this team showed why it deserves its sub-par record.
While Manning and the Giants couldn’t help but turn the ball over, Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins and the Washington offense did an excellent job of avoiding turnovers. “When we’re on, we’re on, and when we’re off, we’re off. We just have to be consistent with that light switch”. “What they thought about the team and where we’re at and what we need to do to progress”.

Jackson only had 2 catches for 66 yards and one touchdown. He wound up 26 for 51 for 321 yards; Beckham had nine catches for 142 yards. When the offense was struggling the defense allowed a huge long touchdown to Desean Jackson and allowed a huge fourth down touchdown to Kirk Cousins. “And I think our corners did the work today”, Washington defensive end Jason Hatcher said.
Five games remain and the Giants still believe they can win the NFC East, make the playoffs, get on one those rolls like they did in 2007 and 2011 and finish with a parade.
“It’s definitely important for Kurt Cousins to step up and not throw as many picks”, said Carter Monroe talking about the last Redskins-Giants game.
