Redskins only 2 games out of 1st in NFC East

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Don’t look now, the Washington Redskin are two games back in the NFC East.

Sure, maybe Washington’s 17-16 win over the Miami Dolphins Sunday wasn’t the most inspiring victory — the Redskins needed to stop a two-point conversion with six seconds left to hold on — but things broke their way around the rest of the division.

The Minnesota Vikings smacked the Philadelphia Eagles in a 38-20 victory— with Kirk Cousins making linebacker Zach Brown have to eat crow for calling the quarterback the “weakest link” of Minnesota’s offense. Cousins threw four touchdowns in the win.
