Redskins QB Kirk Cousins shines against Philadelphia Eagles - ESPN
Sometimes it was a little play. Kirk Cousins ran a bootleg to his right, saw no one was open and quickly delivered to tight end Logan Paulsen. It gained four yards, but, more importantly it was a positive gain on a play in which Cousins had nothing. It happened a few times. It's partly why he wasn't sacked in 48 dropbacks. Sometimes it was more than that. Redskins coach Jay Gruden showed his confidence in Cousins on a third-and-1 play in the first quarter. And Cousins delivered. After faking the handoff, Cousins patiently watched tight end Niles Paul turn upfield along the sidelines and he delivered a perfect pass for a 37-yard gain.
Philadelphia Eagles 37, Washington Redskins 34: Ten observations - ESPN
If the Redskins had somehow recovered to win this game, it would have been -- could have been, I should say -- a season-defining win. It's not just about winning on the road. It would have been about what they had to overcome, in terms of special teams mishaps and penalties and injuries and losing a starter because of a brawl. They were in control, lost the momentum and still somehow found a way to have a chance to win. I like the resiliency, but they consistently make too many mistakes to overcome. They could have beaten Houston, too, if not for three plays that cost them 15 points. Woulda, coulda, you know?

Did the Redskins run the ball enough in the loss to the Eagles? | Comcast SportsNet Washington
On the face of it you can make a case that they didn’t. At halftime, Alfred Morris had 17 carries for 62 yards. His average of 3.6 yards per carry wasn’t very impressive but he was running effectively, helping his team move the chains and build up a time of possession edge of 22:54 to 7:06. But it was a different story in the second half. Morris had just six carries for 14 yards. Considering that the Redskins trailed by more than one score for only a minute and a half that doesn’t seem to be enough.

Monday NFL Rewind - Fanspeak.com
The game of the day was the matchup between the Eagles and Redskins easily. The talk of the game will most likely be about the losing quarterback more than the winning quarterback. Maybe because we have seen Nick Foles do what Kirk Cousins did plenty of times. But for the Redskins the talk should be positive as Cousins made plenty of plays in the game, especially early on.
