In 2014, just as the tables seemed ready to turn – wins in 13 of 15 games, a 6-0 start, a new contract extension – Palmer suffered another knee injury.
Playing in a mediocre NFC East, Kirk Cousins put the Redskins on his back in the second half of the year and led them to a division title. He joined Pro Football Hall of Famer Sonny Jurgensen… And you may also know that a tape of the game was thought to be long lost.
