Saints-Redskins Final Score: Kirk Cousins and Redskins Rip Saints 47-14 in Washington

1st Quarter

• Saints win the toss. They defer and elect to kick off.
• 3rd and 4 - Kirk Cousins completes a 42-yard pass down the sideline to DeSean Jackson for the first down. Here we go again. It's already starting.
• 3rd and 1 - Jordan Reed is wide open in the flat, runs and stretchs for the touchdown.
• Saints defense looks as bad as we remember.
• Redskins leading early 7-0.

• Mark Ingram with an incredible 70-yard run down the sideline! He almost made it into the end zone. Probably the most impressive run of his NFL career. Zach Strief with a great block.
• Brees hits Brandin Cooks over the middle for the short TD pass.
• Saints tie it up 7-7.

• 3rd and 7 - Kikaha gets flagged for a neutral zone infraction so it becomes 3rd and 2. Naturally, Matt Jones rushed for 20 yards and the first down.
• After a few more plays to get down field, Matt Jones rushes again for a 29-yard pickup.
• Kirk Cousins hits Jamison Crowder at the goal line for the TD.
• Redskins lead again 14-7.

2nd Quarter

• 3rd and 8 - Brees gets sacked by Stephen Paea. Saints go three and out.

• Good consecutive pass breakups by Delvin Breaux and Kyle Wilson force the Redskins to punt. Hallelujah!

-------------------------

• Two nice consecutive runs by Mark Ingram and Brandin Cooks.
• Those runs set up a beautiful 60-yard deep pass to a streaking Brandin Cooks for his second touchdown of the day.
• Saints tie it up again 14-14.

• 3rd and 10 - Brees hits a wide open Brandin Cooks for a first down but Cooks drops an easy catch. Saints punt away.

3rd Quarter

• Saints start the second half with the ball.
• Brandon Coleman makes his standard 1 catch of the game. We probably won't see any more of him the rest of the afternoon.
• 3rd and 1 - Hightower can't pick up the first down.
• 4th and 1 - Spiller can't pick up the first down. Questionable call to have Spiller out there. Why not Ingram?
• Saints turn it over on downs.

-----------------------------

• First play of the half for the Redskins offense and it's a 28-yard run by Alfred Morris.
• Hau'oli Kikaha re-injured his ankle. He's questionable to return. Good thing they rushed him back.
• Redskins eventually kick another FG. Dustin Hopkins now 3-for-3.
• Skins lead 30-14.

• Saints go three and out.

• Redskins get a short field after the punt. After a few Alfred Morris runs, Kirk Cousins hits Jordan Reed for an 8-yard TD. Brandon Browner on he coverage.
• Redskins now crushing the Saints 37-14.

4th Quarter

• Brees pass to Colston bounces off his hands and right into the waiting arms of Dashon Goldson, who high steps all the way into the end zone.
• Redskins dominating 44-14.

• The Redskins keep the ball on the ground with five straight runs.
• Dustin Hopkins makes his 4th straight field goal of the day. He's a good kicker. The Saints could use someone like that.
• It's now 47-14 in favor of the Redskins. Do I have to keep going?
