NEW ORLEANS — With 31 seconds left in regulation at New Orleans’ 34-yard line, Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins was called for intentional grounding. The penalty was costly, pushing the Redskins out of field goal range and the Redskins went on to lose 34-31 in overtime to Saints.
So what happened?
Apparently, there was a mixup between the coaching staff and Cousins.
Redskins coach Jay Gruden said he was trying to get Cousins‘ attention to audible into a bubble screen to Jamison Crowder. Cousins said he thought the coaching staff wanted him to throw it by Crowder on the originally-designed run play.
