And it’s still not going to be enough: They need help from the Bucs against the Bears and the 49ers against the Lions . The Chiefs more realistically can win the division by winning one more game than the Broncos over the next two games.
Entering this season, coach Jay Gruden knew that Cousins, clearly far ahead of Griffin in the offense, should start. “I’m going to continue to work as hard as I can and show up early to work and leave late at night”. “There were some moments in this game where we could have burrowed our head, but it was great to get a victory”.

“Since day one, everybody kind of doubted this team”, Jackson said.
The Eagles fell to 6-9 and will miss the postseason for the second time in three years under coach Chip Kelly.
The Eagles’ 38-24 loss to the Washington Redskins was reflective of yet Kelly’s front office moves over the last couple of years have blown up in his face. “I wanted to make good on it, and now with a division title I think we have”.

The soap opera that is the Eagles’ running game continued as marquee free-agent acquisition DeMarco Murray had a season-low two carries for three yards and has been limited to 91 yards over the past four games.
From there, it was all Washington.
But Murray then dropped a pitch, Hall picked it up and ran it back for a 30-17 lead late in the third quarter.
Gruden said he has not decided how much, or even whether, to play starters such as Cousins in Week 17 at the Dallas Cowboys (4-11) in a game that means zero in the standings to either team. “It’s a big accomplishment”. As a team, we have to make sure that we hang together and take all the accountability that we need.

“I can’t take my eyes off it”, Murray said. “That’s not my choice”.
They missed another opportunity on the following series when Nelson Agholor dropped a 28-yard TD pass and settled for Caleb Sturgis’ 34-yard field goal that cut it to 13-10.

In 2012, the Washington Redskins thought that they had it all figured out. Since Week 7, Cousins has led the team to a 6-3 record, while throwing for 19 touchdowns with just three interceptions. “YOU LIKE THAT!” As a mater of fact, you absolutely love that, being Kirk Cousins has led the Redskins into the playoffs.
