— The Redskins gained 335 yards of offense, breaking a team record by exceeding 300 yards of offense in an 18th consecutive regular season game, dating back to last season. The stretch surpassed the 17-game mark set across 1987-88 seasons.
— The Redskins have now opened a season with 14 consecutive 300-yard games for the second time in team history (1987).
— The Redskins have now gained 5,692 total net yards this season, moving into eighth-most in a single season in team history.
— The Redskins broke 4,000 net passing yards during the contest and have now reached the 4,000-yard mark in three consecutive seasons for the first time in team history.
— On a 17-yard third down conversion to wide receiver DeSean Jackson, Cousins broke his own team record for passing yards in a single season of 4,166, set in 2015. He now has 4,360 passing yards this season.
— Cousins was held without a touchdown pass, snapping a streak of 12 consecutive games with a touchdown pass, tied for the fifth-longest in team history. It was only the second time in Cousins’ 30 regular season games since assuming the starting role in 2015 that he has been held without a touchdown pass in a game.
— Jackson recorded his 11th 100-yard receiving game with the Redskins, tying Ricky Sanders for eighth-most in team history.
— Wide receiver Pierre Garçon extended his streak of consecutive regular season games played with a reception to 100, the fifth-longest active streak in the NFL. Seventy-two of the games in Garçon’s streak have come with Washington, the third-longest streak by a member of the Redskins since the 1970 merger.
— During the game, Vernon Davis (502) passed Ben Coates and Todd Heap (499 each) for 12th on the NFL’s list of career receptions by a tight end.
This team is way more interested in personal achievements than playing and winning as a team. During the post game show on Comcast, I saw plenty of guys walking into the locker room smiling and laughing. D. Jackson for one.
