LANDOVER, Md. — The Redskins definitely are liking this.
Washington is just 5-6 after fending off the Giants with a 20-14 victory on Sunday, but that’s good enough for a share of first place in the thoroughly mediocre NFC East.
Considering this is just the second time since 1999 the Redskins have occupied first place this late in the season, no wonder cries of “You like that!” — quarterback Kirk Cousins’ catch phrase after a comeback win over the Buccaneers last month — could be heard in Washington’s jubilant postgame locker room.
