Kirk Cousins and the Redskins hosted the Buffalo Bills at Fed Ex Field on Sunday looking for a win to get them closer to the NFC East title. They got close with a big win over the Bills 35-25 as well as some help from the Jets beating the Cowboys last night and the Panthers beating the Giants today. The Eagles will play the Cardinals tonight.
The Skins got on the board when Cousins found Jordan Reed for a three-yard touchdown on the first drive of the game. In the second quarter, Kirk ran it in 13 yards to put Washington up 14-0. Then with 8:47 left in the half, the Redskins went up 21-0 with Reed's second touchdown of the day.

After the Bills kicked a field goal to start the second half, Cousins launched a bomb and Desean Jackson caught it and took it to the house for a 77 yard touchdown. Trailing 28-3, the Bills got two touchdowns to cut the defect to 11 points but the Redskins got an insurance touchdown in the fourth quarter. With 11:16 left, Cousins threw a five yard touchdown strike to Pierre Garcon to go up 35-17. The Redskins would prevail 35-25 and improve their record to .500 at 7-7.
Thanks to the Jets and Panthers taking care of the Cowboys and Giants respectively, the Redskins move to sole possession of first place. The Eagles play tonight against the Cardinals but regardless of the outcome of that game, the Skins do hold the tiebreaker. The Redskins and Eagles will play Saturday night at Philadelphia at 8:25 p.m. as part of Thursday Night Football: Saturday Edition on NFL Network.
