The incompetence of Kirk Cousins continues to transcend entire macrocosms.
After Redskins kicker Dustin Hopkins hit a 52-yard field goal as time expired in regulation to send Sunday’s game against Atlanta into overtime, all Cousins needed to do was throw a touchdown on the first possession of the extra period and it would be game over. And lo and behold, the 27-year-old signal caller delivered. For the Falcons, that is.
Facing a heavy pass rush on second down, Cousins made an ill-advised throw off the wrong foot to Ryan Grant which Falcons cornerback Robert Alford intercepted and returned 59 yards down the sideline to the house, lifting Atlanta to their second 5-0 start in franchise history.
Kirk Cousins to Robert Alford.

The loss dropped Washington to 2-3 on the season and will no doubt cause Redskins fans to wonder what kind of heinous wrongdoings they committed in their past lives to deserve Kirk Cousins under center every single week.
At least they might be able to get some free drinks out of it.
