With his team trailing 45-10, Redskins backup quarterback Kirk Cousins got a chance to play the entire fourth quarter Week 14 against the Chiefs, replacing Robert Griffin III. He wasn't particularly impressive, completing 7 of 16 passes for 59 yards and nearly throwing an interception, but he was satisfied with the performance, according to The Washington Post.
"First of all, I really benefit from getting reps. Just playing. Even if I had thrown a pick on every play, it still would've been a good thing to be out there, playing," Cousins said. "I did some good things, did some things I want to improve upon. But the fact that I could put some stuff on tape, go back watching, be hard on myself, watch it, that's always a positive coming away from a game."
Though coach Mike Shanahan didn't say Griffin's job was in jeopardy, he did leave room for speculation after the game.
"We'll talk about all that later," he said. "I would say that about anybody at any position. We'll talk about that. We'll look at injuries. We'll look at where we're at and what direction we're going."
