Can the Redskins Count Coup on the Cowboys?

The 8-7 Redskins take on the 4-11 Cowboys at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas in the last regular game of the season in one minute. Since the Redskins fans tend to regard the Cowboys as the ultimate rival, one would hope they could win this one. The Redskins have already won their division, and will get at least one playoff game.

Cowboys take the kickoff in the endzone, and will start at the 20. Three and out. Punt goes out of bounds at the 28.

Cousins completes on his first pass to Jordan Reed at the 39ish, first down. Garcon goes for 4. Fourth and not enough, they elect to punt. Fair catch at the Cowboys 6 yard line.

Minutes before tip-off of the Hacienda Holiday Tournament, announcer Mike Kemper introduced the Goshen High School varsity girls basketball team.

“Now, it’s time for your lady Redsk...” he said, correcting himself mid-word and finishing with “RedHawks.”

The game was the debut of the new RedHawks mascot after the Goshen School Board voted in July to retire the longtime Redskins moniker that had sparked controversy regarding whether the name honored Native Americans or disparaged them.
