Drive Of The Game: Cousins Pushes The Pile To Cap Run-Heavy Drive

This week's Redskins Drive of the Game, presented by Ford, was a13-play, 60-yard drive finished off by a Kirk Cousins one-yard touchdown sneak that gave the Redskins a temporary lead.

The Redskins’ run game lost its steam in the second half of their 38-30 loss to the Vikings on Sunday as they tried to save time during a fourth quarter rally. But their second quarter scoring drive showed what a healthy rushing attack could do against a formidable defense.

With the starting offensive line mostly intact and healthy once again, running back Samaje Perine established the tone early and converted a fourth down to extend the drive that culminated with a one-yard quarterback sneak up the middle.
