Today is a day of giving thanks. I'm thankful for many things: Mike Ditka, Joe Buck's hair implants and most importantly, Hatin' ass Spurrier. The Redskins should be thankful that they were able to torn today's contest into an actual game by the time the fourth quarter rolled around.
The game started out ugly and looked like it wanted to stay that way with a missed 43-yard field goal, a failed two point conversion and two failed onside kicks.
The Redskins should also be thankful that Kirk Cousins really wants this new contract and that Jordan Reed was tired of this mediocre red zone offense and put the team on his separated shoulders.
Cowboys 31, Redskins 26 is the final from Arlington, Texas.
The balance of the offense is gone again because apparently winning is wrong and it actually doesn't matter. Kirk Cousins absolutely had the game of his life, completing 41 of his 53 attempted passes for 449 yards and these three touchdowns. 77 percent completions on over 35 passes is incredible and Kirk Cousins set the Redskins franchise record for 400-yard games. On the flip side, even though the commenters focused on how Rob Kelley had "Closed the door" on the starting running back spot, the Redskins still only attempted 18 rushes including a horribly obvious power out of The wildcat formation in the red zone. Kelley was able to pick up 37 yards on his 14 carries for a stellar 2.6 yard average per rush.
The defense was the defense and the Cowboys were the Cowboys. Ezekiel Elliott and his chipmunk face had 120 all-purpose yards and two scores. Dan Prescott had 17 completions for 197 yards and a touchdown and Cole Beasley continued his season long audition for "Who wants to be the next undersized slot receiver for the New England Patriots?" The Redskins lost and Dallas is now an insufferable 10-1.
The Redskins next game is a week from Sunday at 4:25 against the Arizona Cardinals, who now own American pro sports' longest championship drought. Thank you Chicago.
