During a three-game, 11-day stretch, Kirk Cousins and the offense tallied impressive numbers, but couldn't pull out a victory on Thanksgiving against the Cowboys.
After just three days of rest and little time to heal and prepare for the Dallas Cowboys, boasting the best record in the NFL, quarterback Kirk Cousins and the Redskins offense continued their recent trend of performing exceedingly well in the national spotlight. But it was their earlier season trend, not capitalizing in the red zone, which ultimately would hurt them on Thanksgiving.
Despite another historic statistical performance from Cousins, who threw 41-of-53 for 449 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, the Redskins couldn’t convert on three consecutive red zone chances to start the game.
