The Redskins secured the division and home field for the first round of the playoffs yet still had one more regular season game against their arch rival Dallas Cowboys. While nothing was to be gained in this meaningless game between the rivals, the Redskins were hoping for a win for momentum heading into the playoffs. They got it with a 34-23 win.

The Redskins played their starters in the first quarter and quarterback Kirk Cousins had a field day with three touchdown passes on three straight drives. His first was a five-yarder to Ryan Grant. The second came on a deep ball to Pierre Garcon 39 yards. His third was a short three yard pass to Jamison Crowder to put the Redskins up 21-0.

On his 12th completion, Cousins set the single-season record for most passing yards by a Redskins quarterback with 4,166 yards. He finished the afternoon 12 of 15 for 176 yards to go along with the three touchdowns. Jordan Reed also earned his place in the Redskins record books as he became the new leader of receptions by a tight end with 87.

Colt McCoy took over for the rest of the game. His lone touchdown pass was a beautiful 71 yard throw to Rashad Ross. The Redskins 34-23 win was the cherry on top for a turnaround year that saw the Skins win more than double their win total. The Redskins finished with a 9-7 record and winners of four straight games. It is also their first division title and trip to the playoffs since 2012. The Redskins will host the Packers this Sunday at 4:40 p.m. from FedEx Field. Tickets for that game sold out this morning in 13 minutes.
