[Stymietee]

Good news is that they need a TD to win, bad news? They have Blaine Gabbert and have almost totally forgotten about Fitzgerald.

Inside the confines of FedEx Field, the Washington Redskins were able to defeat the Arizona Cardinals 20-15.

QB Kirk Cousins was 18-of-26 for 196 yards, with no turnovers and two touchdowns to his credit. RB Samaje Perine led the way on the ground with 15 carries, however he only managed 2.5 yards per carry on hte day. WR Jamison Crowder led his team in receiving with 55 yards, also drawing in one of Cousins’ touchdown passes.

QB Blaine Gabbert struggled statistically, throwing an interception and putting the ball on the turf no less than three times, however he lost one fumble on the day. He had only 189 passing yards and no touchdowns to offset his struggles. The Arizona stable of backs, with help from Gabbert’s 28 yards, rushed for 141 yards on the day. With that, we give you our PFF-exclusive takeaways from the contest for each team.



TOP 5 GRADES:
Edge Junior Galette, 85.2 overall grade

Edge Preston Smith, 84.6 overall grade

RB Samaje Perine, 84.5 overall grade

DI Anthony Lanier, 81.8 overall grade

RT Morgan Moses, 81.7 overall grade

PERFORMANCES OF NOTE:
QB KIRK COUSINS, 62.9 OVERALL GRADE
So what do Washington do with Cousins at the end of the year? He’s played well without ever reaching the level the top quarterbacks do, and that was largely the case against a Cardinals team that took away his ability to move the ball downfield. In fact, Cousins threw just seven passes deeper than 10 yards in the air, completing just three of them as Washington struggled to move the ball on offense throughout. Perhaps with more consistency at the wide receiver spot and fewer injuries on the offensive line things would have been different, but this has not been the year anyone expected.

RB SAMAJE PERINE, 84.5 OVERALL GRADE
With Washington struggling to move the ball in the air, it came down to Perine to get the hard yards to give them just enough breathing room. On the surface 37 yards in nothing to write home about, but with 35 of those coming after contact you get to understand just how hard he had to work for those. It’s not eye-popping, but those extra yards kept Washington in manageable down and distances, proving vital in a close game where they didn’t have the ball a lot.

DI ANTHONY LANIER, 81.8 OVERALL GRADE
It was a day of splash plays for Lanier, the former undrafted free agent who had himself a career day. He ended up with a couple of sacks and an incredible three batted passes as he really made life hard for Blaine Gabbert. The 51 snaps Lanier played represented a career best and are an indication of how high the team must be on him as the season draws to a close.

EDGE JUNIOR GALETTE, 85.2 OVERALL GRADE
The last five games have proved one thing about Galette; He still has plenty of pass-rushing juice left. He only walked away with one sack, but with three quick wins elsewhere he showed plenty of explosion on his 20 pass-rushing snaps.

LOL & probably a good thing that the Redskins played the Rams early & the 49ers before Garoppolo took over as QB.

I don't want to say they were a lock for the playoffs but if they could have kept Allen, Foster, CT and a couple of OLineman healthier I think it would have been an okay season. They still have a shot at an 8-8 season with all the injuries and if they hadn't blown the Saints game ..... it should be very hard to lose a 15 point lead with 3 minutes to go. We had disastrous STs versus the Cowboys.
