LANDOVER, Md. -- Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins spent Sunday delivering passes that resulted in touchdowns, or hand-offs that led to long gains.
But perhaps one ball he delivered meant more than the others -- the one he handed to his father in the stands afterward.
Cousins' father, Don, was attending his first game of the season after undergoing cancer treatments throughout the summer and fall. Cousins previously had declined to discuss the situation, not wanting to make it part of the narrative of his season.
However, his father underwent his last treatment recently and was healthy enough to attend the Redskins' 47-14 victory Sunday over New Orleans.
