Redskins Triumph Over Browns, 38-21

After a slow start for both teams, Washington was able to run away with it in the second half, easily beating the Browns in Cleveland by a final score of 38-21.

Morris Scores, Effectively Sealing Redskin Victory

After Brandon Weeden's long touchdown to Travis Benjamin, Kirk Cousins and Washington was able to bounce back with a long touchdown drive. Cousins found Josh Morgan for 32 yards to start out the drive, and later flipped one to Logan Paulsen for a creative ten yards. Later, he passed to Santana Moss for seven yards, and after Moss accidentally fumbled forward, Pierre Garcon recovered for a first down. On the next play, Alfred Morris ran it in for eight yards and a score, making it 38-21.

Weeden Connects Deep with Benjamin, Browns Cut Washington Lead to Ten

After two interceptions and getting his helmet torn off, Brandon Weeden has struck back. Weeden, who was hit hard on the previous play and recovered his own fumble, found Travis Benjamin streaking down the right sideline for a 69-yard touchdown pass. Cleveland now trails 31-21 with around ten minutes left in the game.

Royster Scores, Washington Starting to Run Away With It

After Brandon Weeden's second interception of the game, the Redskins have begun to open up the score. Weeden's late third quarter pass was picked off by London Fletcher, and a 19-yard Kirk Cousins pass to Logan Paulsen, a 15-yard pass to Pierre Garcon and a series of runs by Alfred Morris and Cousins set up a four-yard touchdown run by Evan Royster. It was the running back's second career touchdown, and Washington holds a 31-14 lead.

Cousins Finds Hankerson For Second Touchdown, Washington Leads 24-14

It appears Kirk Cousins is putting it all together. After a Cleveland punt, Cousins found Santana Moss for a 17-yard gain, and two plays later completed a pass to Moss for another 20 yards. Alfred Morris ran for 13 yards on the next two plays and then caught a pass for two more, and then Cousins found Leonard Hankerson on the right side for an easy two-yard touchdown. With Washington leading 24-14 and the Giants down 27-0 to the Falcons, things are looking good for the Redskins' playoff hopes.

Redskins Take Lead On Morris Touchdown, 17-14

Cleveland started out the second half with the ball, but an interception thrown by Brandon Weeden two plays in gave the Redskins a chance to capitalize. Weeden threw the ball over the middle, looking for Greg Little, but instead Rob Jackson got the pick, setting up a three-yard Alfred Morris score.

Richardson Scores Second Touchdown, Browns Take 14-10 Lead

After the Redskins took the lead with a Kai Forbath field goal, Cleveland is now on top with a 14-10 lead after Trent Richardson's second touchdown. Three big plays took the Browns from within their own territory to dangerously close to Cleveland's end zone - a 12-yard pass to Josh Gordon, a 30-yard pass to Greg Little, and a 16-yard direct snap run by Josh Crabbs. Richardson pounded it in from one yard out, and the Redskins trail with about a minute left in the first half.

Kai Forbath Gives Redskins Lead

The two offenses continue to struggle, but Kai Forbath is on his game. The kicker capped off a drive with a 44-yard field goal, making him 15-of-15 on the season as a Redskin.

After Richard Crawford returned a Cleveland punt five yards, Kirk Cousins completed a six-yard pass to Josh Morgan and then ran for a 17-yard first down. Three plays later, he found Evan Royster on a short pass that went for 25 yards, and that proved to be enough to set up the field goal. Washington leads 10-7 with under six minutes left in the first half.

Kirk Cousins Connects With Leonard Hankerson For Improbable Touchdown

After nearly a quarter of dismal offensive output, Kirk Cousins and the Redskins finally put it together. On a play -action roll-out to the right side, Cousins found Leonard Hankerson beyond three Brown defenders. The pass was just beyond the wideout, who juggled it, caught it and fell to the ground. The Cleveland defenders tripped, and Hankers was able to get up and run into the end zone. The play was reviewed, but was confirmed as the Redskins tied the game at 7.

Cousins Interception Leads to Browns Touchdown

Kirk Cousins has started out 0 for 3 in his first Redskins start, and his third pass found the arms Browns' safety T.J. Ward. Ward returned the interception 56 yard to Washington six, and Trent Richardson ran to the left into the end zone on the next play. The Browns lead 7-0, and the Redskins have ten total yards through two drives.
