The Redskins play the Eagles tonight in Philadelphia. It is true that there is a lot at stake tonight: Whoever wins will be in the driver seat to win the NFC East and go to the playoffs. For Kirk Cousins there is a whole lot more at stake. Can this guy win a big game under the lights being the only game on TV? Can he win on the road? How about three wins in a row? Can he close the deal that will send the 'Skins to the playoffs for the first time since RGIII took them there in 2012? Is Cousins worthy of a contract for a starting QB in the NFL? One big win tonight may answer every one of those questions. A loss and all of them may linger unanswered a bit longer. This is not a monkey on his back.... it is an 800 lbs. gorilla!

It seems like other teams have figured out how to beat the Redskins: Load up the box and stop the run. Force Kirk Cousins to beat you. Depending on which Cousins shows up will determine the outcome of the game. Pick 6 in overtime..... Bad Cousins.

Rested from working out today and watched a bunch of football. Amazingly, the Redskins were able to comeback and beat the Philadelphia Eagles. It was a game that could have gone either way. They put the ball in Kirk Cousins' hands and he came up big for the victory! The Redskins' defense also had a very good game, especially their defensive front seven.
Have a Great Day!!
The Redskins were doing pretty well today and then Robert Griffin III dislocated his left ankle. And then DeSean Jackson injured his shoulder. And then, the Redskins proceeded to rattle off 41 points on their way to their first win of the season?! First win to end a nine game losing streak. Go figure. At least there will be no quarterback controversy.
Today's quote is from Kirk Cousins:
"Champions are built on a thousand invisible mornings."
