Under-fire Cousins helps Redskins beat Giants for first win

New York Giants center Weston Richburg became the first National Football League player ejected under a new rule after drawing two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties Sunday in a 29-27 loss to Washington.

Breeland injured his ankle in the first quarter and did not return.

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning’s pass is batted away by Washington’s Chris Baker.

Said Newton: “They were dictating to us after they got the momentum”.

Through three games, Vereen had rushed for 147 yards and a touchdown with a 4.7 yards per carry average.

Finding positives through the first two weeks of the 2016 season was hard for the Washington Redskins, but if there was a silver lining to the team’s 0-2 start, it was health.

The feeling of anger and frustration that the New York Giants felt after losing their first game under coach Ben McAdoo has been replaced with the realization that it’s one game.

“We have a great team – the best team I have been a part of”, said Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen, who had three sacks.

The game lasted 3 1/2 hours, but the afternoon flew by in an NFC East that may not have Super Bowl talent, but has consistently delivered entertaining football on a weekly basis. The Giants regained the lead with a 29-yard field goal after a fade pass in the corner of the end zone to 5-foot-8 running back Bobby Rainey was almost intercepted. The game was hyped up because of the Odell Beckham, Jr.

In the pre-game ritual against the New York Giants Sunday, the players raised their fists in a Black Power salute.

“As bad a play as humanly possible, the kind of play that cost you games – and it did cost them a game”, Francesa added.

SPECIAL TEAMS: It was an exciting day for the guys from specials. Dustin Hopkins has already converted 15 field goals this season with a 100% completion rate.

Norman did pick up a personal foul for an illegal hit on Sterling Shepard. In a turn of events that nobody could have expected – especially the most affected person – four-time Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams moved inside to left guard.

He has spent the past nine seasons with the Redskins.

The Giants have suddenly become thin at cornerback as both Apple and Rodgers-Cromartie had leave Sunday’s loss to the Washington Redskins with injuries.

NUMBERS: Cousins finished 21 of 35 for 296 yards.

“I would have to say tackling and finishing”, he said. Drafted as a hybrid linebacker/safety, Cravens made a big-time impact in the win over the Giants and has proven he needs to be on the field a lot for Barry’s defense.
