>> reporter: he needs to play the way he played. he needs to prove to not just the redskins fans, but even to some of his teammates that he can finish games successfully. we have seen the last few games that kirk cousins has been in, and the team isn't winning. so as much as wean sit here and rave and say that kirk cousins had his career best last sunday against the eagles, the team lost. so in order for kirk to be successful, he needs to play tonight and hopefully the team can get a win. >> big challenge. injury report. desean jackson, you have an update on him. >> reporter: deshawn jackabeajao wa questiona to play, will play tonight. good news for the offense, good news for kirk cousins who obviously likes to find the redskins' number one target in desean jackson. again, injuries. we'll keep you posted throughout the next few reports on news4 at 4:00. >> a great interview coming up. >> yes. >> one-on-one with coach gruden. >> yes. >> talk about what he said about the short week this week. >> yeah, you talk about the players being tired. but for coach, it's just as exhausting and he knows this game is really important. >> it's a home game. and we make a big deal about our home games and division game. and we're both one and two. so a huge game for both of us. we're going to have our team ready. but this is a very important game. he fall too far behind the 8-ball this early in the season and it's going to be tough sledding. and we're already behind the 8-ball at 1-2. the team goes to 1-3, we're not out of it by any stretch, but it's a lot harder. >> you heard the coach there. he feels the pressure. i have to tell you, gruden has been consistent in one area, he is very cool and calm. he has to be at this point. he can't get erratic. it's still early in the season but tonight is a must-win. >> and you're going to share your interview throughout 4:00 and 5:00 and 6:00 tonight. and take a look, this might surprise you. 79% of nfl fans don't find the redskins' name offensive. only 25% of fans who took this survey support changing the name. more than 500 people participated in this poll. of course, redskins owner dan snyder has vowed never to change the name. we have been talking about the weather. that was going to be a big story. that tarp came up, 215, the field looks great, not soggy in the least. amelia, we throw it back to you. what is the wind going to be like tonight and will it stay raw out here? >> winds aren't going to be an issue until 7:00, 8:00 p.m. so if you are headed to fedexfield to do some tailgating, keep that in mind. for the game, cloudy and cool. and for the most part mainly dry. we can't rule out some drizzle. but i'm thinking most if not all of the game will be dry. on storm team 4 radar, light rain, mainly down in st. mary's county. and then in central and northern parts of montgomery county. this continues for the next few hours before it starts to wind down. your redskins forecast just prepare for those cool temperatures. temperatures around 7:00 in the mid 60s. by 11:00, we're in the low 60s. so if you're headed to the game, definitely recommending the sweatshirt, pat. >> all right amelia. are city subways at risk of a terror attack?

i guess they'll be in their september outfits. or are they going to move on to the december clothes? >> could definitely stand to bundle up night. just because it's been drizzly throughout the day, we've had the light mist around, i think it's going to feel damp. so you do need to prepare for that. yeah. tomorrow, though, we're looking at warmer air. more sunshine. big improvements in the weather. the weather not having any negative impact on your friday. really major improvements. today it was chilly, cloudy, not the best fall day. and it's breezy right now. current wind speed in washington at about 15 miles per hour. now once we hit 7:00, 8:00 p.m., the wind should start to subside across the area. keep that in mind if you have evening plans outdoors, the kids have sports tonight or just going for that run. it will feel breezy until 7:00 or 8:00 p.m. temperature right now, 69 degrees. again, some drizzle is possible this evening. but we're not talking about widespread rain. we're not talking about any heavy rain moving through the area. he have been noticing the cloudy skies and the cool temperatures. so 6:00, temperature of 66 degrees. by 10:00 p.m., we drop into the low 60s. so heading out tonight, you definitely need that jacket. this is what you can expect for your fried morning. stepping out the door in washington tomorrow, 58 degrees. those of you in the suburbs, low 50s. jacket definitely needed for the morning. make sure you layer, because not only will we see more sunshine, but warmer temperatures as we get into the afternoon. so here's how the sky is going to look at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow. you can see the sunshine winning out there, just a few clouds around. all in all, mostly sunny skies throughout your friday, midday and afternoon hours really nice friday evening. however, during the morning hours, 7:00 a.m., not only is it going to be cool. there could be some fog around, as well, especially for those of you in the rural areas. so you might want to allow a little bit extra time for that morning commute tomorrow, again, because of the potential of fog. aside from that, though, really gorgeous day. high temperature of 78 degrees. we'll hit that at about 4:00 p.m. tomorrow evening, looking fabulous. temperatures comfortable for the most part. again, though, we're just getting into that time of year if you're going to be out late, make sure you grab the jacket. for the weekend on saturday and sunday, high temperatures in the low 80s. it's the first week in the fall, featuring plenty of sunshine. on saturday, of course, we have clairton day so the weather is beautiful for that. for money, partly sunny skies, high temperature of 79 degrees. tuesday, a little more cloud cover around. we're keeping tuesday dry right now. high temperature of 77. wednesday, a high of 77 as well. and thursday high temperatures near 80 degrees. so, again, today not the best day. but we're looking at big improvement wants in our weather starting tomorrow, barbara and pat. >> thanks, amelia. a member of one of tv's most popular families is concerned about her safety in real life. sarah hyland of "modern family" filed a protective order against her ex-boyfriend. hyland says he once choked her so hard she couldn't breathe. the order keeps him 100 yards away from her, her house and her place of work. when a burglar kicked down the front door of a woman's home in california, she grabbed her phone and hid on the roof of her house. that's right. but the burglar followed her out there. the terrifying moments were captured in this photo shot by a witness who was on the ground, actually. police said the woman was asleep in her venice home yesterday morning and heard someone break in. she climbed out on to her second story rooftop and called police. >> i'm zooming in, and i'm snapping pictures of her as she's, like, on the phone. and then this head pops up on the other side of the roof behind her, this figure that was so scary. >> the suspect was later arrested. the victim wasn't hurt, but she says she is still too frightened to go back home right now. >> wow. you want to put down that phone and stop what you're doing. why multitasking on your smartphone may be making your brain smaller. plus, one moment a man reaches into his car after a south carolina trooper asks for his drivers license. seconds later, the trooper starts shooting. we've got the whole thing on tape. it's video you just have to see to believe. do you tweet while watching tv or chat on the phone while on the computer? you could be shrinking your brain if you do that. a new study found multitasking with gadgets could reduce your gray matter. researchers scanned the brains of 75 healthy adults who often use different media devices at the same time. those who did the most media multitasking had less gray matter in that part of the brain that processes emotion. previous studies linked multiple media use to attention problems and depression. a morning cup of joe will wake you up, but a morning keg of joe is another thing entirely. >> as megan mcgrath reports, the new office feature is giving workers a jolt in the commonwealth. >> simple syrup. >> reporter: it isn't the kind of thing the boss would typically okay. a keg in the office? unless, of course, it's filled with coffee. >> have you had a chance to try the coffee out of the keg yet? >> i still treat it like a beer every time i go to the keg, and tilt the cup and, then realize oh no, just drinking coffee. >> reporter: more than 15 gallons of java served cold in shots. >> we can fit kegs. >> that is a jolt too. it's a very strong cup of coffee. but it gets you to a point where you can finish that day and have that energy you need. >> reporter: disruption corporation is the first business in the area to put one in the office. based in crystal city, disruption invests in hot high-tech companies. nothing like a jolt of joe to keep the creative juices flowing. >> definitely gives us a good jolt. so it thursday mornings are always rough. we end up staying late on wednesdays. >> reporter: l coffee roaster commonwealth joe has been tasked with keeping the barrel full all day. so workers can go on quite the caffeine bender if they choose. but it is also about running down the street for coffee, workers just walk across the room. >> people work long hours, late into the night or get up really early in the morning. and anything that can improve their productivity whenever they want to work is something that's good for them and that's good for us. >> reporter: so will the keg o coffee increase productivity? will it give rise to a different kind of keg stand? stay tuned. they just installed it yesterday. in crystal city, megan mcgrath, news4. college dorms aren't known for being looks our use, but things at this dorm are out of control. how midshipmen are dealing with a bedbug infesstation at the naval academy. >> and we're moments away from president obama's remarks after eric holder resigns from the eric holder resigns from the admi in cases of rape and incest, just eric holder resigns from the admi like the right-wing republicans in congress. they want to overturn roe v. wade. so does she. "i think roe v. wade should be overturned." barbara comstock even voted with right-wing republicans to require women seeking an abortion to undergo transvaginal ultrasounds. that's all i need to know. i'm john foust and i approve this messge. president obama at the white house next it to attorney general eric holder, who is announcing his resignation after six years on the job. let's listen. >> over the summer, he came to me and said he thought six years was a pretty good run. i imagine his family agrees. like me, eric married up. he and his wife, dr. sharon malone, nationally renown oby/gyny have been friends for years and i know brook and mia are anxious to get their dad back for a while. but this is bittersweet. eric has agreed to stay on as attorney general until i nominate his successor and that successor is confirmed by the senate. which means he'll have a chance to add to a career of public service, one that began nearly 40 years ago as a young prosecutor in the department he now runs. he was there for 12 years, taking on political corruption, until president reagan named him to the bench as a judge. later, president clinton called him back. so all totalled, eric has served at the justice department under six presidents of both parties. including a several-day stint as acting attorney general for george w. bush's first term. and through it all he has shown a deep and abiding fidelity to one of our most cherished ideas as a people and that is equal justice under the law. as younger men, eric and i both studied law. and i chose him to serve as attorneys general, because he believes as i do that justice is not just an abstract theory. it's a living and breathing principle. it's about how our laws interact with our daily lives. it's about whether we can make an honest living. whether we can provide for our families. whether we feel safe in our own communities, and welcomed in our own country. what are the words the found did he say set to pay for 238 years ago, apply to every single one of us and not just some. th's why i made him america's lawyer. the people's lawyer. that comes with a big portfolio. from counterterrorism to civil rights. public corruption to white collar crime. and alongside the incredible men and women of the justice department, men and women that i promise you he is proud of and will deeply miss, eric has done a superb job. he has worked side by side with our intelligence community and to keep us safe from land terrorist attacks and to counter violent extremism. on his watch, federal courts have successfully prosecuted hundreds of terror cases. proving that the world's finest justice system is fully capable of delivering justice for the world's most wanted terrorists. he's worried about corruption and fought violent crime. under his watch a few years ago, the fbi successfully carried out the largest-and-a-ha mafia take american history. he has worked to make sure they've got the resources to get the job done. and he has managed funds you said the recovery act to make sure when budgets took a hit, thousands of cops were able to stay on the beat nationwide. he's helped safeguard our markets from manipulation and consumers from financial fraud. since 2009, the justice department has brought more than 60 days against financial institutions and won some of the largest settlements in history for practices related to the financial crisis. we're covering $85 billion. much of it returned to ordinary americans who were badly hurt. he's worked passionately to make sure our criminal justice system remains the best in the world. he knows that too many outdated policies, no matter how well-intentioned, perpetuate a destructive cycle into too many communities. so eric addressed unfair sentencing disparities, reworked mandatory minimums and promoted alternatives to incarceration. and thanks to his efforts, since i took office, the overall crime rate and the overall incarceration rate have gone down by about 10%. that's the first time they have climbed togeth-- declined togetr the first time in more than 40 years. eric's proudest achievement might be reinvigorating and restoring the core mission to what he calls the conscience of the building, and that's the civil rights division. he has been relentless against attacks on the voting rights act. because no citizen, including our service members, should have to jump through hoops to exercise their most fundamental right. he's challenged the discriminatory laws that made it harder for law enforcement to do its job. under his watch, the department has brought a record number of prosecutions for human trafficking and for hate crimes. because no one in america should be afraid to walk down the street because of the color of their skin, the love in their hard, the fate they practice or the disabilities they live with. he's dramatically advanced the cause of justice for native americans working closely with their communities. and several years ago recommended that our government stop defending the defense of marriage act. a decision that was vindicated by the supreme court, and opened the door to federal recognition of same-sex marriage and federal benefits for same-sex couples. pretty good track record. eric's father was an immigrant whose father served in world war ii only to be refused service at lunch counters in the nation he defended. but he and his wife raised their son to believe this country's promise was real. that son grew up to become attorney general of the united states. and that's something. and that's why eric has worked so hard. not just in my administration, but for decades to open up the promise of this country to more striving, dreaming kids like him. to make sure that those words, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, are made real for all of us. so soon eric, sharon and their kids will be a bit freer to pursue a little more happiness of their own and thanks to eric's efforts, so will more americans. regardless of race or religion, gender or creed, sexual orientation or disability, who will receive fair and equal treatment under the law. so i just want to say thank you, eric. thank you to the men and women of the justice department who workday in and out for the american people and we could not be more grateful for everything that you have done, not just for me and the administration, but for our country. i come to this moment with some very mixed emotions. i'm proud of what the men and women of the department of justice have accomplished over the last six years. and at the same time, very sad that i will not be a formal part -- formal part of the great things that this department and this president will accomplish over the next two. i want to thank you, mr. president, for the opportunity that you gave me to serve and for giving me the greatest honor of my professional life. we have been great colleagues. but the bonds between us are much deeper than that. in good times and in bad, in things personal and in things professional, you have been there for me. i'm proud to call you my friend. i am also grateful for the support you have given me and the department as we have made real the divisions that you and i have always shared. i often think of those early talks between us about our belief we might help to craft a more perfect union. work remains to be done, but our list of accomplishments is real. over the last six years, our administration, your administration, has made historic gains in realizing the principles of the founding documents. and fought to protect the most sacred of american rights. the right to vote. we have begun to realize the promise of equality for our lgbt brothers and sisters and their families. we have begun to significantly reform our criminal justice system and reconnect those who bravely serve in law enforcement with the communities that they protect. we have kept faith with our belief in the power of the greatest judicial system the world has ever known to fairly and effectively adjudicate any cases that are brought before it. including those that involve the security of the nation we both love so dearly. we have taken steps to protect the environment and make more fair the rules by which the enterprises operate. and we held accountable those who harm american people, either through violent means or the misuse of economic or political power. i have loved department of justice ever since as a young boy. i watched robert kennedy prove during the civil rights movement how the department can and must always be a force for that which is right. i hope that i have done honor to the faith you have placed in me, mr. president, and to the legacy of all those who have served before me. would i also like to thank the vice president who i have known for so many years and in whom i have found great wisdom, unwavering support, and a shared vision of what america can and should be. i want to recognize my good friend, valerie jarrett whom i've been fortunate to work with from the beginning of what started as an improbable, idealistic effort by a young senator from illinois, who we will both right to believe would achieve greatness. i have had the opportunity to serve in your distinguished cabinet and worked with a white house chief of staff -- white house staff, ably led by denis mcdonough. he has done much to make real a promise of our democracy and each of the men and women who i have come to know will be lifelong friends. whatever my accomplishments, they could not have been achest without the love, support and guidance of two people not with me today. my parents, eric and merriam holder nurtured me and my brother william and made us believe in the value of individual effort and the greatness of this nation. my time in public service which now comes to an end would not have been possible without the sacrifices too often unfair, made by the best three kids a father could ask for. thank you mia, thank you brook and thank you buddy. and finally, i want to thank the woman who sacrificed the most, and allowed me to follow my dreams. she is the foundation of all that our family is, and the basis of all that i have become. my wife sharon is the unsung hero, and she is my life partner. thank you for all that you have done. i love you. in the months ahead, i will leave department of justice, but i will never -- i will never leave the work. i will continue to serve and try to find ways to make our nation even more true to its founding ideals. i want to thank the dedicated public servants who form the backbone of the united states department of justice for their tireless work over the past six years, the efforts they will continue, and for the progress that they made and that will outlast us all. and i want to thank you all for joining me on a journey that now moves in another direction. but that will always be guided by the pursuit of justice and aimed at the northstar. it thank you. attorney general eric holder, who is announcing his official resignation from the job of attorney general. the job he has held for the past six years. holder is the nation's first african-american ag and the fourth longest serving attorney general in the country's history. he's one of just a few remaining original members of the president's cabinet. >> he says in the months to come, he will leave that department, but he said he will never leave the work that is being done there. it was an emotional goodbye, i think, that he just made, don't you think? >> yes, very emotional. and he is stepping down after his -- officially stepping down, ending the work after the president has named and appointed his replacement. and we'll be back on news4 at 4:00 right after this. know that chasing performance can mean lower returns and fewer choices in retirement. know that proper

as we begin the countdown. 8:25 kickoff with the giants tonight. last month team owner dan snyder said he was beginning the process, entertaining the idea of a new design for a new stadium, away from landover. this stadium opened up back in 1997, of course, the redskins played at rfk before that. beyond capitol hill in the district about eight miles away from here. now there's speculation they could be heading from landover at the beltway in prince george's county back into the district, or virginia. so the big question for folks here, what would the impact be on them? >> i think that it would be kind of detrimental or bad if it was out of the area, because it would do something to the business that comes into the area because of the stadium. >> i guess if anything, i would like to see them in d.c. where i used to go to rfk stadium all of the time and where it would jump. i think it belongs in d.c. >> really? >> yeah. >> even though you live out here. >> like the response from residents to keeping the stadium, the promise of revitalization around it has also been mixed. sure, there are improved roads and infrastructure. but it's easy to spot signs of blight. even the old landover mall lot still sits like a concrete graveyard. but put up a wegman's and you'll see crowds all over at all times of the year. near all of this, townhomes now springing up. one thing residents wouldn't miss here is the traffic. what do you think of traffic, though, on sundays? >> you know, what actually, i don't go into traffic. >> reporter: fedexfield is an unincorporated part of the county. the mayor is worried about losing the redskins. >> lots of people come to patronize some of the small eateries, locations, to watch it on closed circuit television and eat some wings and drink a beer or whatever the case might be. >> i'm counting down to some wicks wings and perhaps a beer later on. >> will you bring wings up to the press box? >> spicy or not. this is one of two home games for the redskins in prime time. >> yeah. kind of a change, right? >> this is all new for coach gruden, making his home here. but losing is also new to him. you talked to him about that. >> yeah, jay gruden here first time nfl head coach here, moved his family from ohio out here to virginia. so i talked to him this week. i said what are you like after a loss? what would mrs. gruden tell us? what do you do when you get home? >> i have got these two cats. >> what are their names? >> i think dirk -- dirk and sox. >> and you don't like them? >> not a big cat guy, but i do like them. i do like cats. i don't want anybody to get mad at me. >> just after a game. you just want to get to bed. >> get off the bed. >> he loves his cats, said they're always sitting on his bed, he has got to kick them off so he can get to bed. we're going to have more of that interview with jay gruden. we talked about date night with mrs. gruden and why they believe in it to keep the spark in their marriage. >> you get personal with him. this is going to be cool. we'll look forward to that. also, this is a short week for the redskins, quick turn around, a busy week in d.c. for the nationals. two today, two tomorrow. you've already got a score. >> they just lost. they play at 7:00 and then another double header tomorrow. so the nats have plenty of games they're playing right now. so as we all know, they're getting ready for the playoffs. that's the exciting part of this. >> when it rains it pours. >> what a great time to be a d.c. sports fan. >> back in 15. hope to see you then. pat and barbara, back to you for now. >> it's not pouring right now, huh? >> and not going to rain anymore tonight. >> no, we're not worried about more rain, at least at fedexfield. there is drizzle out there winding down over the next few hours. you do have plans tonight, we're not dealing with showers. you don't need to bring the umbrella. there might be some mist around for the next few hours, but we are
