LANDOVER Shawn Lauvao Jersey , Md. (AP) — for the Washington Redskins to finally put together two consecutive victories, coach Jay Gruden knows that being in first place atop the NFC East at this point in the season is truly not really a big deal at all.“It’s great to get two in a row, get the monkey off our back this year,” Gruden said, “but we have a long way to go before we start celebrating.”The Redskins (4-2) extended their division lead by beating the Cowboys 20-17 on Sunday, holding on when Dallas kicker Matt Baher put a 52-yard field-goal try off the left crossbar as time expired after a 5-yard penalty on his long snapper pushed the attempt back.The result stopped Washington’s pattern of alternating wins and losses this season. It also allowed Gruden’s club — which began the day 18-18-1 since the start of the 2016 season — to briefly enjoy a rare cushion in the standings.Dallas heads into its bye week at 3-4, the same record as the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, who also lost Sunday.The fourth team in the division is the New York Giants, who take a 1-5 record into their game against the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night. The Giants also happen to be Washington’s opponent next week.Get this: The Redskins hadn’t won their opening NFC East game in any season since 2011.“It’s pretty early to talk about that kind of stuff,” Washington quarterback Alex Smith said. “But you do realize that those division games, down the line, have huge ramifications.”What we learned about the Cowboys and the Redskins moving forward:COWBOYS BYEThe good news for Dallas is that it gets two weeks to try to work on all of its issues, from the inefficient offense, to the key penalties, to the week-to-week inconsistencies. “We got time now to fix it — over drinks,” defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence joked. The loss to Washington continued a real problem: The Cowboys are now 0-4 on the road, 3-0 at home. They host the Tennessee Titans (3-4) in their next game, on Nov. 5, then travel to play at Philadelphia on Nov. 11, and at Atlanta on Nov. 18.AS ZEKE GOES …When RB Ezekiel Elliott is held under 75 yards, Dallas is 0-3 this season and 0-5 for his career. He gained only 34 yards on 15 carries against Washington, and a Cowboys team that put up 40 points in a victory over the supposedly defensive-minded Jacksonville Jaguars was held to less than half that this time around. Getting that straightened out is a big must for Dallas. “Teams are going to game-plan around him,” center Joe Looney said about Elliott.SAQUON’S NEXTAfter limiting Elliott Terry McLaurin Washington Redskins Jersey , the Redskins next challenge shapes up as taking on Giants rookie Saquon Barkley, the No. 2 overall draft pick who enters Monday with 438 yards, a 5.2 average per carry and four TDs. “Our defense, they’ll have a tough challenge, but they’re well-equipped to stop him,” Redskins RB Adrian Peterson said. “They did a great job at controlling the front (against Dallas). They’re going to have to do the same thing next week.”PETERSON STILL DOING ITPeterson was the better running back Sunday, even though he is 33, a full decade older than Elliott. Peterson, who was available for any team when he was signed by the Redskins in the preseason, gained 99 yards on 24 rushes against Dallas. “I think everyone else around is surprised; I’m not,” Peterson said. “I expect greatness from myself.”SHAKY SMITHThere were quite a few mistakes made by Smith that wound up limiting Washington’s scoring and making things tougher on the team than they needed to be. He missed a wide-open Jeremy Sprinkle in the end zone on one first-and-goal situation that resulted in a field goal. Another poor pass to the end zone led to another field goal following first-and-goal. A third-down scramble on which he ended up out of bounds with 78 seconds left stopped the clock for Dallas before Washington punted. “If we do a better job in the red zone, then the game could have been different, ended up much different, not as dramatic,” said Smith, who was 14 of 25 for 178 yards and one TD pass. “We could have opened that up a little bit.” Who are the Redskins picking in 2020?" />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteHogs Havena Washington Redskins communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsSectionsRedskinsMastheadOddsShopCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Looks Like Someone Has A Sixpack Of The MondaysDaily SlopRedskins RecapsEDTShareTweetShareShareWay too early 2020 NFL Mock Draft: The Redskins are not expected to be very good next yearPhoto by Christian Petersen/Getty ImagesOne last mock draft? Yes one last mock draft, this time looking at the way too early projections for the Redskins draft pick in 2020. The mock drafters do not think Washington will be very successful next season, with a draft range from #1 - #19, and all but two projections being in the top 10. Vegas has also set expectations low with a starting line of 6 wins for the Redskins in 2019. Not good Bob.Alex Smith will likely miss this season, and could possibly be done in the NFL, so the Redskins drafted Dwayne Haskins in the 1st round this year. Washington also traded for Case Keenum, and still have an injured Colt McCoy on the roster so the only QB need they will have next year are for a solid backup.The Redskins spent their other 1st round pick on OLB Montez Sweat, who should be a long-term starter opposite Ryan Kerrigan. That did not stop several prognosticators from giving Ohio State edge rusher Chase Young to the Redskins. Kerrigan turns 31 this year Terry McLaurin Washington Redskins Jersey , and is only under contract through next season. Would they draft OLBs in the first round in back-to-back years?Trent Williams also turns 31 this year and has a contract that runs through 2020, and there isn’t a replacement on the roster currently. Morgan Moses is locked up through 2022, and the Redskins drafted Geron Christian in the the 3rd round last year, but they will need to start looking at OTs next season.The Redskins drafted two WRs this year, including Ohio State’s Terry McLaurin, but they still show up in this roundup. Colorado’s Laviska Shenault and Alabama’s Jerry Jeudy are the popular choices to be Haskins new targets.Safety, CB, and TE round out the rest of the picks. The Redskins ignored safety and tight end in the draft this year and will likely look to next year’s draft to get some young talent. They did add Landon Collins in free agency, but need more help for him. Jordan Reed and Vernon Davis are likely on their last legs in Washington and Jeremy Sprinkle is backup level. The Redskins drafted Jimmy Moreland in the 7th round to add to their collection of late round CB lottery tickets. Josh Norman’s likely entering his last year here, and they could use an upgrade.Where will the Redskins pick, and who/what position should they take next year?#1Bleacher Report(Miller)Chase Young, OLB, Ohio State#2The Athletic(Brugler)Chase Young, OLB, Ohio StateSports IllustratedJerry Jeudy, WR, AlabamaSan Diego Times U~TAndrew Thomas, OT, GeorgiaDraft SiteWalker Little, OT, Stanford#3Draft Wire(Easterling)Grant Delpit | S | LSU#4E$PN+(McShay)Chase Young, OLB, Ohio StateSporting NewsAndrew Thomas Cheap Terry McLaurin Jersey , OT, Georgia#6SB NationLaviska Shenault, WR, ColoradoYardbarkerLaviska Shenault, WR, ColoradoNBC Washington(Standig)CJ Henderson, CB, FloridaDraft BlasterChase Lucas, CB, Arizona StateThe ScoreJerry Jeudy, WR, Alabama#7The Big LeadLaviska Shenault, WR, Colorado#8The Draft Network(Sikkema)Trey Smith, OL, Tennessee#9NFL Spin ZoneCeeDee Lamb, WR, Oklahoma#14Walter FootballAlbert Okwuegbunam, TE, Missouri#19Walter Footbal(Campbell)C.J.
