The Washington Redskins trotted onto rain-slicked FedEx Field on Sunday missing three-fifths of their starting offensive line and two defensive starters, the odds stacked against them and the Dallas Cowboys lined up across from them. With the defeat, the Redskins dropped to 3-4 overall and 0-3 in the division, including two losses to the Philadelphia Eagles. Again, the running game wasn’t a factor, with Coach Jay Gruden calling only 15 rushing plays to the Cowboys’ 39. But protection issues reared up immediately, with Cousins clobbered on the Redskins’ first offensive play. The Cowboys replied swiftly, totaling 15 yards per play to take the lead on a 13-yard touchdown run by Elliott.
