5 bold predictions for the Redskins vs. Cowboys matchup
By Ian Cummings
No. 1 – Kirk Cousins throws five touchdowns, enters MVP race
What better night to burst out and have a career game? Against the Cowboys, on their own field, with the playoffs on the line. It doesn’t get better than this. Kirk Cousins already had a career game against the Cowboys last year. And this year, he’ll do that and more.
Cousins hasn’t won a lot against the Cowboys in his career, but for most of his career, he’s been playing with a patchwork defense. While his record isn’t good, Cousins himself has played several winning games against the Cowboys, and lost. He seems to split the Cowboys games every year, putting up one iffy performance and one amazing game.
Well, folks, Cousins’ iffy game this year is out of the way. And all that’s left is the breakout game. Kirk Cousins will enter the Cowboys’ arena tonight with a chip on his shoulder, and he’ll toss touchdowns left and right, propelling the Redskins to a massive lead. In the end, his final stat line will show five touchdowns, and well over 300 yards. He performance will vault him into the best-in-the-league conversations, and he’ll ride a career-best game into next week.
