LANDOVER, Md. -- Kirk Cousins wondered early in the Washington Redskins game against the Green Bay Packers if the wind would make it difficult.Instead, Cousins gripped the ball tighter, ripped it into the air and threw for 375 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Redskins to a 42-24 victory Sunday night, Washingtons sixth victory in eight games.Handing the Packers (4-6) a potentially season-crushing fourth consecutive loss, Cousins outdueled two-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers and got the Redskins (6-3-1) rolling into a Thanksgiving showdown against the NFC East-leading Dallas Cowboys.Lights out, said DeSean Jackson, who had a 17-yard touchdown catch . QB rating 145? So we need him to play like that a lot more. I think if we can get our guy back there playing like that, pretty much unstoppable.With Cousins carving up Green Bays porous pass defense and Robert Kelley running for 137 yards and three touchdowns, Washington put up 517 yards didnt wilt like it did in a playoff loss to the Packers. We Want Dallas chants filled FedEx Field in the final minutes of the game that only became a blowout late, but this was a well-rounded performance that the Redskins wish they couldve put together in January.We certainly had a sour taste in our mouths walking away from the game last season, said Cousins, who was 21 of 30 and also had TD passes to Jamison Crowder and Pierre Garcon . When you watch the film, we felt like there were plays there to be made that didnt get made. I think tonight you saw what we felt we were capable of doing last January and just didnt get it done.While the Packers allowed 30 or more points for the fifth time in six games -- all losses -- Rodgers and the offense couldnt keep up. He was 26 of 41 for 351 yards and three touchdowns, but the result was the same.We put ourselves in a tough spot, Rodgers said. Weve got find a way to get a win next week and approach it one week at a time. Thats all weve got right now.The Redskins have a big meeting at Dallas to look forward to. The Cowboys (9-1) have won nine in a row.Were feeling good, but at the same time its a short week and were playing one of the best teams in the NFL on Thursday, Cousins said.GREEN BAY IN DEEP: The loss put the Packers two games back of the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions in the NFC North. Each team won Sunday, meaning Green Bay may need to pull off a heck of a feat to return to the playoffs.We clearly understand the urgency thats in front of us, coach Mike McCarthy said.GUTSY GRUDEN: After kickers around the league missed 11 extra-point attempts going in, Washington coach Jay Gruden opted to go for 2 twice -- and converted neither. But he was validated when Green Bays Mason Crosby missed a 36-yard attempt at that end in the third quarter and when his kicker, Dustin Hopkins, shanked an extra-point attempt off the right upright in the fourth.Gruden was feeling risky all night, going for it on fourth-and-1 from his own 41 with 6:22 left. Cousins sneaked it to convert and reward his coach, and the drive finished with a touchdown by Kelley.The fourth-and-1 was pretty simple: It was half a yard, and the wind was pretty strong in our face, Gruden said. Thought our offensive line was getting pretty good movement (and) wed get half a yard with the quarterback sneak play.BANGED-UP PACKERS: Already missing offensive linemen J.C. Tretter and T.J. Lang, the Packers lost cornerback Demitri Goodson (knee), replacement right guard Don Barclay (shoulder), linebacker Blake Marinez (knee) and safety Kentrell Brice (back).QUICK-STRIKE OFFENSE: While the offenses were on ice early in the night, they combined for two touchdowns in the first 35 seconds of the fourth quarter. Rodgers 31-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open James Starks came on the first play of the fourth, and Cousins connected with Garcon on a 70-yard touchdown on the second play of the Redskins next drive.QUOTABLEKelley on his special night: Real special, especially for the guys in the fantasy leagues.Packers safety Micah Hyde: We have way too much talent in this locker room to be performing like that. But week in, week out, were doing it.

You can watch the game on TSN and TSN Mobile TV at 7pm et/4pm pt. The Heat have won three in a row since their shocking Game 1 loss at home. Miami took both contests in Chicago, including an 88-65 drubbing of the Bulls on Monday. "Were always undermanned and have to put forth a lot of energy to make up for bodies we dont have," said Bulls reserve forward Taj Gibson. "Tonight we just didnt have the energy. No excuses. We just did not have it." The 65 points was a franchise playoff low for a Chicago team that only managed nine points in the third quarter of Game 4. They also shot an all-time postseason-worst 25.7 percent from the floor. Since the Game 1 win, the Bulls have lost by an average of 23.3 ppg and all three losses came by double digits. Of course, the Bulls are decimated by injuries. Derrick Rose hasnt played since he tore his ACL in the first playoff game last season. Luol Deng and Kirk Hinrich have both missed this entire series. "Theyre in a tough situation," said LeBron James, the reigning MVP. "Theyve had some injuries and illnesses and whatevers going on. They dont have their full roster. But thats not for us to worry about. They beat a very good Brooklyn team without their full roster." Some of the Bulls pointed to that Brooklyn series. The Nets were down 3-1 to Chicago, but forced a Gaame 7.dddddddddddd "Its disappointing. But there is still basketball left," said Joakim Noah, who was named to the All-Defensive First Team on Monday. "Its not the end. Its do or die. Weve got to go to Miami and get a win and go to Game 6." Carlos Boozer led the Bulls in Game 4 with 14 points and 12 rebounds. Jimmy Butler, Gibson and Rip Hamilton, who hadnt played all series long, all scored in double figures. James paced the Heat with 27 points, eight assists and seven rebounds, which were all team-highs. Chris Bosh netted 14 and blocked four shots. Nine other Miami players scored on Monday night, although Mike Miller and Joel Anthony were the only Heat players who didnt score on Monday. Both played less than three minutes. Dwyane Wade has been noticeably absent from the scoring column. Hes only averaged 11.2 ppg during this series and only managed six points in Game 4. Wade has been plagued by knee troubles and the extra rest hes been getting hasnt helped. He missed a good portion of the end of the regular season, sat out Game 4 of the Heats first-round series with the Milwaukee Bucks, and had a week off before the Bulls series began. "Sometimes it feels good, sometimes it doesnt," Wade told the Palm Beach Post. "Just try to go out there and continue to do what I can." The Bulls did win Game 1 in Miami and took one of the regular-season meetings at American Airlines Arena. If Chicago wins on Wednesday, Game 6 will be Friday night in the Windy City. ' ' '
