Offense:

  • Quarterback Kirk Cousins entered in relief and completed 22-of-33 passes of 250 yards with two touchdowns and a 109.4 passer rating. 
  • Cousins completed his first 12 passes, the longest consecutive completion streak of his career. Cousins' longest career streak for consecutive completions prior to Sunday came in Week 16 last season when he completed 10 consecutive passes vs. Dallas.

Running back Alfred Morris rushed for 85 yards on 22 carries. Morris eclipsed the 3,000-yard career rushing mark with his performance, accomplishing the feat in his 34th career game, the fastest in team history. The franchise's all-time leading rusher, John Riggins, did not break the 3,000-yard mark with Washington until his 38th game with the Redskins. * In the second quarter, Morris scored the 21st rushing touchdown of his career. He scored his second rushing touchdown of the day later in the quarter, the 22nd of his career, tying him with Don Bosseler for ninth-most in team history. * The multi-touchdown game was the fourth of Morris' career and his first since Dec. 30, 2012. * Morris' second touchdown was the culmination of a 92-yard drive, the Redskins' longest scoring drive since a 95-yard scoring drive at Denver on Oct. 27 last season. * Tight end Niles Paul caught a two-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter in the midst of recording career highs in receptions (eight) and receiving yards (99). * Fullback Darrel Young scored the fifth receiving touchdown of his career and his first of the season on a 20-yard pass from Cousins. * The touchdown reception was his first since a 62-yard touchdown reception at Philadelphia on Nov. 17, 2013 last season. * The touchdown was the second in as many weeks for Young, who had a one-yard rushing touchdown in Week 1 at Houston. Young has now scored a touchdown in consecutive games for the first time in his career. * Wide receiver Andre Roberts recorded a career-long 19-yard rush in the second quarter, beating his previous high of 15 set in 2012 as a member of the Arizona Cardinals. * Roberts added a career-long 37-yard punt return in the third quarter. His previous long was 25 yards, set in both the 2010 (Arizona) and 2014 (Washington) seasons. *

Roberts became the first member of the Redskins since 1999 to post a rush of 15-plus yards, a reception of 15-plus yards and a punt return of 15-plus yards in the same game. Brian Mitchell accomplished the feat on Dec. 5, 1999 at Detroit. * Roberts' seven punt returns in the game were the most since Eric Metcalf vs. Denver on Nov. 18, 2001 (seven). * Wide receiver Ryan Grant recorded his first career NFL catch in the first quarter, catching a three-yard pass from Cousins. * Grant finished the game with five receptions for 57 receiving yards. * Running back Silas Redd, Jr. scored the first rushing touchdown of his career on a 14-yard run in the fourth quarter.


Defense:

  • Linebacker Ryan Kerrigan tied a team record with four sacks, tying Phillip Daniels (12/18/2005), Ken Harvey (11/23/1997), Dexter Manley (10/2/1988) and Brian Orakpo (12/13/2009).
  • The multi-sack game was the fifth of Kerrigan's career.
  • Kerrigan eclipsed 25 career sacks with his first sack, dropping Jaguars quarterback Chad Henne in the second quarter.

Kerrigan now has 28.5 career sacks, pushing him past Darryl Grant (27) for ninth on the Redskins' all-time sack list since the stat became official in 1982. * With a half-sack in the first quarter, linebacker Brian Orakpo became the fifth member of the Redskins to record 40 career sacks, joining Dexter Manley, Charles Mann, Monte Coleman and Ken Harvey. * Defensive end Jason Hatcher recorded his first official sack as a member of the Redskins and finished the game with 1.5 sacks. Hatcher was credited with a sack at Houston in Week 1 that was later ruled by the NFL as a tackle on an aborted play. * Linebacker Perry Riley, Jr. posted a career-high 1.5 sacks, the first multi-sack game of his career. * Safety Ryan Clark recorded his first partial sack with the Redskins since Nov. 27, 2005 at San Diego, a span of 3,213 days. On the play, linebacker Keenan Robinson also recorded his career first partial sack. * Defensive end Frank Kearse recorded his first sack since Dec. 9, 2012 as a member of the Carolina Panthers. * Safety Trenton Robinson recorded his first career interception, picking of Henne in the fourth quarter.
