McCoy leads Redskins’ winning rally vs. Titans

Colt McCoy is the third Redskins quarterback to play this season. (NFL Network)

After yet another disappointing quarterbacking performance for the Redskins -- Kirk Cousins was 10 of 16 for 139 yards and an interception vs. the Titans -- the team pulled him and inserted Colt McCoy into the game.

The first play for McCoy: a 70-yard touchdown pass to Pierre Garcon. As you can see below, Garcon did most of the work (but still ...).

It's McCoy's first touchdown pass since Week 3 of the 2012 season. Also, this.

But McCoy was far from finished. He completed 11 of 12 passes for 128 yards and the Redskins held on to beat the Titans 19-17.

But in truth, McCoy didn't exactly outduel a Hall of Famer to collect Washington's victory. Charlie Whitehurst, starting in place of injured Jake Locker for the Titans, did complete 17 or 26 and threw two TD passes, but only managed 160 yards in the air.

Bills RBs C.J. Spiller, Fred Jackson injured



The Buffalo Bills top two running backs, Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller were both injured in the first half of their team's 17-16 win over the Minnesota Vikings Sunday. Both players left the game on a cart and neither returned to action.At the time of injury, Jackson had run for 12 yards on three carries, and caught three passes for 16 yards. Spiller had caught one pass for three yards and peeled off a 53-yard run on his only carry, which was the play he was injured on.Jackson's status is uncertain at this time, but Spiller will miss "an undetermined time", according to head coach Doug Marrone. Anthony Dixon took over at running back and gained 51 yards on 13 carries.



The Bills backfield is one of the biggest headaches in fantasy football year-in and year-out. Unfortunately, that will continue for different reasons now. Spiller is the Bills leading rusher with 287 yards. Jackson is leading the team in total yards, with 500 (239 rushing, 261 receiving). Their loss is a big blow to the Bills offense overall. It hasn't been that good to begin with, but losing two of their weapons will only make it worse. Spiller appears done for a while. We can only hope Jackson's injury isn't as significant. While they're out, expect Dixon to get the bulk of the work at running back. Bryce Brown, who was inactive Sunday, is also likely to see time.
