Redskins Recap: Redskins Lose an Unwatchable Game to Giants, Final Score 20-6

This game was painful to watch. Kirk Cousins looked terrible. The Giants lost at least 4 of their starting offensive players, including Eli Manning and Hakeem Nicks. The Redskins were overmatched by Peyton Hillis and Curtis Painter. Just a completely awful game to watch.
