Kirk Cousins, QB, Washington
25 for 37, 330 Yards, 2 Touchdowns, 1 Interception
4 Rushes, 26 Yards, 1 Touchdown
Performance Score: 92
Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins was fantastic on Sunday, scoring three touchdowns while accumulating 356 yards in a victory over his former coordinator Kyle Shanahan and the San Francisco 49ers.
It was an incredibly efficient performance for Cousins, who spread the ball around to nine different targets, with none of his wide receivers gaining more than 40 yards. The most explosive plays came from the duo of running back Chris Thompson (105 yards) and backup tight end Vernon Davis (65 yards). Captain Kirk led all quarterbacks in Week 6 with a Performance Score of 92.
After a slow start to his season, Cousins now has multiple touchdowns in his last three games while still developing a report with new receivers like Terrelle Pryor and the now healthy Josh Doctson. And with star tight end Jordan Reed slowly returning to health, this offense should continue to gain momentum in the weeks ahead.
