ANALYSIS: I have not given Kirk Cousins nearly enough respect this season. After his third game with at least 25 points, it’s finally time to acknowledge the really nice season that Cousins is having. He has more points than preseason favorites Ryan Tannehill and Matt Ryan.

The Philadelphia Eagles really struggle against quarterbacks. In Week 15, Carson Palmer didn’t actually do much, but only because David Johnson was able to do so much on the ground. The Redskins are far less likely to run all over any team. If they are going to score it has to be through the air, and that is exactly what happened in Week 15 when Cousins threw for four touchdowns against the Buffalo Bills. DeSean Jackson is healthy and back to full speed, and Jordan Reed is playing at an elite level. Cousins should be able to put up good points again this week.
