Youre watching your Washington Area nissan dealers sports xtra. Welcome back to nissan sports xtra. At 76 the skins now have a winning record for the First Time Since week one, something many didnt dream possible a month ago unless, of course, youre talking to left tackle trent williams. Williams said last night that he dreamt the skins would win today, not sure if kirk cousins was part of that dream or if kirk cousins wanted to be a part of that dream frankly. Cousins came into the lead, the team the final two plays of regulation connecting with pierre garcon. 29 seconds to go. Going for the tie. They tuck and plunge in for the conversion, a huge moment for the backup to rise to the occasion and lead his team to an overtime eventual kai forbath winning field goal and the victory, kirk cousins, a perfect 22. Still a challenge to come out here after standing in the cold for three quarters and be ready to go, but fortunately i had 10 guys around me doing their job at a high level and it made my job much easier. Kirk is a great quarterback. Hes preparing very well. We have a lot of confidence in him. He has a strong arm, knows the playbook as well and knows the defense with the coaches and quarterbacks. He has a live arm. Its no real drop off. Kirk just cant run as fast, but he reads defenses, sits in the pocket and throws. Throughout the week griffins knee will be monitored to see if he can get next sunday to visit the cleveland browns. Our Lindsay Murphy with more on the play that hushed the crowd. Reporter the redskins fourth win in a row now clouded by an injury to their star quarterback robert griffin, iii. He has said all along he would lay his body on the line if he needed to make a play. He did today. With less than two minutes left in the game skins down eight and driving, griffin scrambles, picks up 13 yards before going down. The damage would come on the last hit, his right knee buckled and it looked worse than it was. Xrays and mri results came back negative. He has a sprained knee, but still a scary moment for the skins star qb. I knew as soon as i got screamed like a man, of course, but i knew it hurt really bad, but like i said, it didnt feel like an acl or anything like that. Larry and them came on the field. I told them just get me to the sideline and im come back in the next play. Coming back in the next play. Reporter it was a gutsy effort that didnt go unnoticed by his teammates. When the guy does plays like that, those are statement plays. Those are message plays. Those are plays that says you know what, guys . Im going to battle for you regardless. His passion is love, his hunger to want to be out there speaks volumes. Im thankful hes my quarterback. He came back in and threw two dimes, hobbled and thats just the kind of guy weve got, man. Reporter injury nothing new for this team. Its the next man up if robert cannot go against cleveland next weekend. Thats kirk cousins. He was 22 for 26 yards, a touchdown and the game tying twopoint conversion. From fedex field Lindsay Murphy, fox 5 news.
