Once an embattled, turnover-prone quarterback, Kirk Cousins has finally blossomed while leading the Washington Redskins to the brink of the NFC East title.
The Philadelphia Eagles still have an outside shot at finishing first, though coach Chip Kelly has been answering more questions about running back DeMarco Murray than anything.
The Redskins will try to wrap up their second division title in 16 seasons by winning a third straight game Saturday night at Lincoln Financial Field.
Washington (7-7) was an afterthought as a contender while Cousins threw for an average of 236.7 yards with six touchdowns and eight interceptions during a 2-4 start.
