ATLANTA — With his intended receiver sprawled on the field, it was difficult to tell if Kirk Cousins’ last pass was on target.
After Washington Redskins wide receiver Ryan Grant slipped, Atlanta Falcons cornerback Robert Alford made the easy interception and returned the ball 59 yards for a touchdown, lifting the undefeated Falcons to a 25-19 win over the Redskins in overtime on Sunday.
After leading most of the game, the Redskins (2-3) were denied their first back-to-back wins since Week 8 of last season.
“This is a tough one, man,” said Redskins coach Jay Gruden.
