ASHBURN, Va. -- The big-game narrative for quarterbacks didn’t start with Kirk Cousins. He’s just the latest to be measured by it. So it has been stated: Cousins can’t win the big one. Or, at least, he hasn’t won enough yet to be paid among the game's best.
The Washington Redskins travel to face the Eagles on Monday night. Cousins is 0-5 on Monday night. He’s 0-1 in the playoffs. He failed in the 2016 finale against the New York Giants with the playoffs at stake.
However, Cousins' play is a central reason the Redskins were, and have been, involved in big games.
