LANDOVER — With 1:59 to play, Kirk Cousins got a final chance to execute the Redskins two-minute offense and lead a touchdown drive to take the lead. It didn’t last long.
The official game book will show that, on the second play of that drive, Cousins fumbled. It will show that his fumble was returned 20 yards for a touchdown by Fletcher Cox, putting the Eagles ahead 30-17 after a successful two-point conversion. The ruling of a fumble stood after review, though it looked an awful lot like an incomplete pass.
Even if the call was wrong, the Redskins had other chances to take the lead and didn’t take advantage.
