Redskins 27, Raiders 10

Sept. 24, 2017 FedExField
Landover, MD

STAR OF THE GAME Quarterback Kirk Cousins throws for 365 yards and three touchdowns to lead Washington (2-1) to a dominating victory over Oakland (2-1). Cousins finishes 25 of 30 passing with scoring passes to Chris Thompson (for 22 yards), Vernon Davis (18 yards) and Josh Doctson (52 yards) against the Raiders' overmatched defense.

KEY STATS Playing arguably his worst game in three plus NFL seasons, the Raiders' Derek Carr is 19 of 31 passing for 118 yards and a TD with two interceptions and a 52.9 rating. In a woeful first half, he was 5 of 10 passing for 32 yards with two picks and two sacks.

The Raiders offensive line, considered among the best units in the NFL, is manhandled by Washington's defense. Oakland allows a season-high four sacks and has only 32 rushing yards on 13 carries (an abysmal 2.5 yards per rush).

The Raiders are an embarrassing 0-for-11 on third down conversion compared to 7-for-15 for the Redskins.

The Raiders are out-gained, 472 to 128 in total yards, by the Redskins. Oakland averages 2.7 yards on 48 plays compared to 7.3 yards on 65 plays for Washington.

BY THE NUMBERS 2: Combined catches for Oakland wide receivers Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper for 13 yards.
3: Consecutive Raiders losses to the Redskins.
10: Oakland points against Washington. The Raiders averaged 35.5 points the first two games against Tennessee and the New York Jets.
188: Combined scrimmage yards for Redskins running back Chris Thompson, who has 150 receiving yards on six catches and 38 rushing yards on eight carries.

DID YOU KNOW? Raiders coach Jack Del Rio is 0-3 against the Redskins. He lost the first two games against the Redskins as Jacksonville Jaguars coach.

With the loss, the Raiders fall to 18-19 in Sunday Night Football since 1978, when the NFL began playing on Sunday night.
