A defense can only bend so much before it breaks, and in the fourth quarter with time dwindling the Redskins defense finally broke. Washington’s for game winning streak came to an end Sunday as Matthew Stafford led a late drive to rally the Lions past the Redskins 20-17.
The heartbreak of it all is that Washington fans and players a like thought it was in the bag. Kirk Cousins led Washington to 14 unanswered points in the fourth quarter, but his heroics weren’t enough to push the Redskins to victory.
Cousins performance is always going to be criticized; win or lose.
