coach jay gruden made that clear because he said he has given no consideration to making a switch at quarterback. gruden and the skins were beyond frustrated in the second half of sunday's game versus the jets. cousins started feeling the pressure. of the game that started to go down hill. but quarterback miscues doomed the team. two interceptions. both in the third quarter, cost the team 14 points. cousins' eight picks this season third worst in the league. today the majority of questions centered on cousins' job security. gruden confirmed cousins is still his main man under center. >> i don't want to judge a quarterback based on yesterday's game, you know. i think he has done some good things in this season. to warrant him some consideration and be a starting quarterback in the national league for some time. let's see how he progresses. let's see what happens at the end of the year and go from here there. i think he has done some good things and other teammates have confidence in him. that's the only thing that is important to me. >> you see that line he slipped in there? see what h

everyone that was watching that game was thinking this worst case scenario, including head coach jay grudenhe already deemed the game a code red. so posting three straight losses, and who knows what could have happened this monday. coach gruden was ready for anything. had his team not pulled off the greatest comeback in franchise history. >> try not to think about that one. i probably wouldn't be standing up here today. but -- i might have done something crazy. but like i said, to come back from that, whoop them in the first quarter and put three good quarters of football together and get the biggest comeback ever in redskins history, you know, it's awesome. >> one of the big losses in yesterday's ball game linebacker ryan kerrigan suffered a fractured hand. gruden saying today that kerrigan had successful surgery, and there is hope the linebacker will not miss any time. he'll be reevaluated next week. kerrigan posted this to his instagram account, giving a thumbs-up to redskins fans, saying that he looked forward to being back on the field soon. the redskins will practice again tomorrow in

jay gruden called this week "code red." >> code red means if we lose this the season is over. rt: code red urgency no matter what you call it, the next game is huge. even gruden was doing push-ups at practice. >> i don't think it will help us to hit the panic button or to help us to be relaxed. in the middle you have to have a balance. >> no player has more precious than kirk cousins coming off of his latest two interception game and with a pick in each loss. comes more noise. >> the way i don't listen to what they are saying is i don't listen to what they are saying. i turn on n.p.r. instead of 106.7 or 980 sometimes. i turn on hgtv instead of espn. robert: another bad outing by cousins and perhaps colt mccoy gets a shot? >> i prepare every week to be prepared to play. so does kirk. kirk is fine. he is going to be all right. hopefully our goal as a team, as a unit is to get back on track this week and find a way to win. robert: all right. hgtv, oxygen and -- in baseball, the opportunity to punch the tickets to the world series today. one of those is the kansas city royals. the

jay gruden has sobering words for the team. that is when we come back. erin: a year after he won national league manager of the year and led the nationals to a division title, matt williams was fired today with a year left on his contract. the entire coaching staff was also fired but none of this comes as a surprise given the high expectations for the club and the extreme disappointment throughout the second half of the season. williams was hired with the zero managerial experience. i wouldn't expect them to hire working manager this time around. >> last time we brought in a manager with no experience and that will have a greater pool of the manager candidates this year stemming from the very experienced to limited experience. kirk cousins made a big step to prove this is his team. he was composed around he didn't turn -- and he didn't turn the ball over. he made a great catch for touchdown and the lead. jay grude said they are not there yet, he likes what he sees. coach gruden: you look back at the games you lost and you try to say if we had done this,

reed left in the fourth quarter and we heard from jay gruden that he injured his mcl and ankle.e are a quarter of the way through the nfl season and a lot of people had different expectations for this redskins team. i asked head coach jay gruden how would he judge this group after the first quarter of play. >> i like the way that the guys are giving great effort and it will pay dividends and being 2-2, it's not 4 and 0 and we're happy about that. bigger than any football game, today, some very special guests at redskins park and 31 women in the middle of their cancer treatment getting pampered by some of their favorite redskins players and this part of the eighth annual all-star survivors breast cancer celebration and spearheaded by cancer survivor tania snyder and wife of redskins owner dan snyder. the players, they get pumped up, too. >> and these ladies are going through a lot and i can never imagine. we're available for their favorite players and their favorite teams and i think it means the world to them and just a wonderful event put on the organization, and tomorrow the p

jackson didn't talk to reporters today but jay gruden addressed the issue. coach gruden: he is concerned. he is letting law enforcement take care of it. but things happened at his house and he is concerned as every homeowner would be. he'll get to the bottom of it, as will the police and go from there. robert: caps are in edmonton tonight to take on the oilers. washington is on fire. they won the fourth straight last night beating vancouver 3-2. late game heroics by none other the captain alex over -- alex ovechkin. he put it in. and hopefully this is a sign of things to come. can they do it in the playoffs? that is the question. more hockey, l.a. kings and the san jose sharks. kings center tyler tyfoli. kings go on to win this one. the final was 4-1. yeah! tennessee high school football. look at devonte matthews. makes the beckham jr. catch, with a one-handed grab. he was the man after the game. more soccer. women's soccer. quarterfinals. overtime. liz slatery finds a shot with the two seconds remaining and she scores. florida wins 2-1. you don't see a lot

jay gruden putting kirk cousins instead of rg-3.e's what he had to say about that. >> this coach wanted his quarterback, his kind of quarterback and i totally agree with him. i know robin and love robin. this coach says i love a conventional quarterback. i'm the coach. i deserve what i want. i think the coach is doing what he needed to do. i don't think that the coach have everything that he needs. >> the caps were red-hot before tow tonight. three-game win streak. they continue their road trip. jay beagle goes to jason that mera. caps take a 1-0 lead after that. this one's still in progress. the second -- 1-1 in period. extreme mown thain -- mountain biker fell the edge of the cliff. you see here he gets back at it, back on top of the court riding it again even completely a huge canyon jump. crazy. speechless. a final note, the nationals' for a manager. don mattingly and dodgers have parted ways. so he's on the market. alison: i know what he's thinking. >> very short book. brothers who ride. > and a search and rescue leon: hillary

jay gruden says don't judge kirk cousins off of his two interceptions last week against the giants.nterceptionso against the dolphins, but none against the rams. today, cousins was asked what he could do differently. kirk: anytime you throw an interception, you always say, what can i do differently? i do want to sound like i'm not taking it seriously, but if i don't trust those throws at times, i will never make consistent completions. there is a balance of i have to trust what i see, i have to throw the ball with confidence. i cannot get gun shy. erin: the nationals in atlanta tonight, finishing the final week of the season. bottom of the second, aj percent ierzinsky bloops one to left. for wilson ramos, lines er, but thepitch nats fall 2-0. blue jays-orioles. that is the final out. 2,e blue jays win it 15- clinching the american league east for the first time since 1993. they do not have much time to celebrate. this was a double-header. the orioles beat the, 8-1 in the second game. the capitals and hurricanes, did not take alex ovechkin very long to break the ice. in the second, t
