Did they end up pulling it off in Seattle on Sunday? Cousins had five turnovers, including four second-half interceptions, in that one.ĪP NFL website: and AP NFL Twitter feed: Seahawks hoped to build more momentum against the Redskins in Week 9. Last in the only NFL division with a pair of 4-1 teams, the Cowboys and Eagles, Washington came into Monday's game with a 1-3 record after a 31-point loss to the Giants on Thursday night in Week 4. The Redskins, meanwhile, were in danger of falling way behind in the NFC East. The Seahawks entered with a 2-1 record, coming off their bye week and a victory in their last game, a Super Bowl rematch with the Denver Broncos. On Monday, Griffin was out with a dislocated left ankle, and Cousins was 13 for 23 for 190 yards with no turnovers heading into the fourth quarter. The last time these teams played each other, in a playoff game at Washington in January 2013, Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III tore up his right knee and Wilson led the Seahawks back from a two-touchdown deficit for a 24-14 win. But it also was penalized 65 yards to that point the Redskins drew one flag for 10 yards. Seattle had a 295-213 edge in total yards after the third quarter. His rushing total, on seven carries, left him just 6 yards shy of the career-high 102 he gained on the ground exactly a year ago, on Oct. Wilson was 14 of 20 for 143 yards passing and a TD through three quarters.
Then, Harvin's 26-yard catch-and-run was wiped out by a flag for a false start on Harvin, a penalty that gum-chomping Seahawks coach Pete Carroll wandered onto the turf to argue. That came after penalties on consecutive plays erased what would have been scores by Harvin.įirst, Harvin's 16-yard run to the end zone was wiped out because of a holding call on left guard James Carpenter. The Seahawks made it 10-0 on Steven Hauschka's 40-yard field goal with about 9 minutes left in the second quarter. Running back Marshawn Lynch stood on the sideline, helmet on, during that first drive, but entered the second time Seattle had the ball. Wilson ran twice for 45 yards, a 16-yard scramble and a 29-yard designed sweep, then capped the possession with his scoring toss to Kearse. The Seahawks started the game with a six-play, 65-yard drive for a 7-0 lead. Gruden then had Forbath try an onside kick, and Helfet recovered at the Seattle 44, but the Seahawks went three-and-out, part of a scoreless third quarter for the visitors. Some fans booed as first-year Redskins coach Jay Gruden decided not to go for it on fourth down Kai Forbath's 27-yard field goal made it 17-10. Cousins threw a 57-yard pass to Jackson on the first play of the second half, and Washington's drive was extended when Cliff Avril was whistled for illegal use of the hands on a third-down play.īut on third-and-1 at the 9, Cousins was stopped for no gain on a sneak.
Washington, which punted on its first four possessions, finally got going on its fifth, with Kirk Cousins hitting DeSean Jackson for a 60-yard TD.
