Kirk Cousins can't play hero for a second consecutive game
In Week 4, Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins was the hero after orchestrating a game-winning 90-yard touchdown drive. In Week 5, he couldn't get repeat -- Cousins threw an interception that was returned 59-yards for a touchdown by Atlanta Falcons cornerback Robert Alford.
Although Cousins' poor throw sealed the deal in Week 5, he was certainly not to blame for the team's 25-19 loss. Cousins drove the team into range for a game-tying 52-yard field goal by Redskins kicker Dustin Hopkins.
Cousins finished the game having completed 21-of-32 passes for 219 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. One of Cousins' interceptions was not his fault -- a second half pass bounced in and out of wide receiver Pierre Garcon's hands and into the hands of a Falcons defensive back.

Sometimes you make an INT by jumping a route Other times it's when Pierre Garcon kinda gives you the ball #WASvsATL http://t.co/YRZo5LBXHD
