After an eleventh-hour change at starting quarterback, Kirk Cousins handled the first-team offense duties Saturday night against the Ravens. Once he got rid of some first quarter jitters, he engineered two touchdown drives, the first time this preseason the Redskins' first-team offense found the end zone.
Both drives consisted of eight plays – the last one an impressive 83-yard hurry-up that took just more than two minutes – and Cousins demonstrated his poise as he found a rhythm in the pocket and some reliable weapons to aid him.
The first scoring drive occurred midway through the second quarter and two rookies helped motor the offense.
