Week in and week out, Washington Redskins’ quarterback Kirk Cousins consistently takes to the podium on Wednesdays and stresses that he doesn’t play favorites with his targets. When it comes to distributing the ball, he just “goes where his reads take him.”
But his reads seem to consistently take him to Pierre Garçon, the sure-handed veteran who has been the Redskins’ clutch receiver this season.
Down 22-21 to the Philadelphia Eagles late in the fourth quarter, the Redskins faced 4th and 1 on the Eagles’ 35. With just 2:59 left in the game, Washington had no choice but to go for it.
