DeSean Jackson, Kirk Cousins could have big game downfield for Redskins

ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins want to take shots down the field. They just haven’t been successful doing so for the first half of the season. That might change for two reasons Sunday: DeSean Jackson has looked better in practice; and the New Orleans Saints' defense has struggled against the deep ball. Or any pass for that matter.

Certainly, the Redskins welcome both developments. Regardless of who they’re playing, the Redskins want to attack more.

“We all have to be more aggressive, there’s no question about it,” Redskins coach Jay Gruden said.
