Cousins connected on 38 of 56 pass attempts for a season-high 458 yards, while adding two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's tie with the Bengals.
A season high in passing yards wasn't enough to propel Washington to a win, as the game ended in a Cousins' Hail Mary attempt that didn't even stay in the field of play. The quarterback connected with Jordan Reed late in the third quarter from 25 yards out to bring the Redskins within three points of the Bengals. He then found Jamison Crowder on a 33-yard touchdown pass midway through the fourth to give the Redskins the lead. Cousins and the Redskins now head into their bye week, giving the quarterback some extra time to rest up and prepare for a Week 10 tilt with the Vikings and their league-leading defense.
