Cards kick another FG
Cardinals kicker Phil Dawson kicked his second field goal of the game — this time a 35-yarder — to shrink the Redskins’ lead to 14-6 with 7:35 left in the second quarter.
Quarterback Blaine Gabbert continued to get pummeled on the team’s latest offensive possession, and an incomplete pass on the final play before the field goal was nearly ruled a sack and a fumble.
Cousins finds Bibbs for TD
The Redskins took an 11-point lead over the Cardinals with their second touchdown of the game early in the second quarter on Sunday.
Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins dropped back in the pocket and dumped a pass to running back Kapri Bibbs, who blazed through defenders for a 36-yard touchdown that gave the Redskins a 14-3 lead.
It was Cousins second touchdown pass of the game — and the second of Bibbs’ career, as the 24-year-old was just activated off the team’s practice squad prior to the game.
End 1: Redskins 7, Cardinals 3

Long drive ends in FG for Cards
A 15-play drive by the Cardinals resulted in a 40-yard field goal by kicker Phil Dawson as the Redskins’ lead was trimmed to 7-3 late in the first quarter.
Arizona started at its own 17-yard line but sustained offensive rhythm to break into Redskins’ territory. However, the Cardinals offensive line couldn’t hold together and quarterback Blaine Gabbert was sacked twice on the final two plays of the drive.
Gabbert has now been sacked four times over two possessions in the game.
Redskins strike first
The Cardinals aren’t off to a great start on Sunday in Landover, Md.

After a 1-yard rush to start the possession, Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins tossed a 5-yard touchdown pass to receiver Jamison Crowder to give Washington a 7-0 lead early in the first.

Cardinals, Redskins face injury woes
This game will be a war of attrition as both the Cardinals and the Redskins have suffered their fair share of injuries during the course of this season.
The Cardinals have had 13 different players placed on IR this season and will be starting their 7th different combination of offensive linemen during Sunday's game.
The Redskins have been bitten by the injury bug even harder as they have placed 19 players on IR this season and have had 24 different combinations along their offensive line.
The Cardinals had six players miss Wednesday's practice with injuries, while Washington had five miss due to injury.

Jones looks to continue stellar season
Last week against the Tennessee Titans, Cardinals LB Chandler Jones recorded a sack, five tackles, three tackles for loss and two QB hits on Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota.
The sack was Jones' 14th on the season, a mark that currently leads the NFL.
Jones also leads the league in QB hits this season with 27.
In fact, since being acquired by the Cardinals before the 2016 season, Jones leads the NFL in sacks (25.0) and tackles for loss (39).

Cardinals are road warriors under Arians
Since Bruce Arians took over as head coach in 2013, the Cardinals have the seventh-best regular season road winning percentage (.526) in the NFL.
Arians' 20 road wins over that span are a franchise record.
The Cardinals have fared particularly well on the road versus NFC East opponents such as the Redskins, as they are 6-3 against them during Arians' tenure.
With a win on Sunday, Arians would tie Ken Whisenhunt for the franchise all-time wins list with 49.
