LANDOVER, Md. -- Kirk Cousins wondered early in the Washington Redskins game against the Green Bay Packers if the wind would make it difficult.Instead, Cousins gripped the ball tighter, ripped it into the air and threw for 375 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Redskins to a 42-24 victory Sunday night, Washingtons sixth victory in eight games.Handing the Packers (4-6) a potentially season-crushing fourth consecutive loss, Cousins outdueled two-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers and got the Redskins (6-3-1) rolling into a Thanksgiving showdown against the NFC East-leading Dallas Cowboys.Lights out, said DeSean Jackson, who had a 17-yard touchdown catch . QB rating 145? So we need him to play like that a lot more. I think if we can get our guy back there playing like that, pretty much unstoppable.With Cousins carving up Green Bays porous pass defense and Robert Kelley running for 137 yards and three touchdowns, Washington put up 517 yards didnt wilt like it did in a playoff loss to the Packers. We Want Dallas chants filled FedEx Field in the final minutes of the game that only became a blowout late, but this was a well-rounded performance that the Redskins wish they couldve put together in January.We certainly had a sour taste in our mouths walking away from the game last season, said Cousins, who was 21 of 30 and also had TD passes to Jamison Crowder and Pierre Garcon . When you watch the film, we felt like there were plays there to be made that didnt get made. I think tonight you saw what we felt we were capable of doing last January and just didnt get it done.While the Packers allowed 30 or more points for the fifth time in six games -- all losses -- Rodgers and the offense couldnt keep up. He was 26 of 41 for 351 yards and three touchdowns, but the result was the same.We put ourselves in a tough spot, Rodgers said. Weve got find a way to get a win next week and approach it one week at a time. Thats all weve got right now.The Redskins have a big meeting at Dallas to look forward to. The Cowboys (9-1) have won nine in a row.Were feeling good, but at the same time its a short week and were playing one of the best teams in the NFL on Thursday, Cousins said.GREEN BAY IN DEEP: The loss put the Packers two games back of the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions in the NFC North. Each team won Sunday, meaning Green Bay may need to pull off a heck of a feat to return to the playoffs.We clearly understand the urgency thats in front of us, coach Mike McCarthy said.GUTSY GRUDEN: After kickers around the league missed 11 extra-point attempts going in, Washington coach Jay Gruden opted to go for 2 twice -- and converted neither. But he was validated when Green Bays Mason Crosby missed a 36-yard attempt at that end in the third quarter and when his kicker, Dustin Hopkins, shanked an extra-point attempt off the right upright in the fourth.Gruden was feeling risky all night, going for it on fourth-and-1 from his own 41 with 6:22 left. Cousins sneaked it to convert and reward his coach, and the drive finished with a touchdown by Kelley.The fourth-and-1 was pretty simple: It was half a yard, and the wind was pretty strong in our face, Gruden said. Thought our offensive line was getting pretty good movement (and) wed get half a yard with the quarterback sneak play.BANGED-UP PACKERS: Already missing offensive linemen J.C. Tretter and T.J. Lang, the Packers lost cornerback Demitri Goodson (knee), replacement right guard Don Barclay (shoulder), linebacker Blake Marinez (knee) and safety Kentrell Brice (back).QUICK-STRIKE OFFENSE: While the offenses were on ice early in the night, they combined for two touchdowns in the first 35 seconds of the fourth quarter. Rodgers 31-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open James Starks came on the first play of the fourth, and Cousins connected with Garcon on a 70-yard touchdown on the second play of the Redskins next drive.QUOTABLEKelley on his special night: Real special, especially for the guys in the fantasy leagues.Packers safety Micah Hyde: We have way too much talent in this locker room to be performing like that. But week in, week out, were doing it. Im speechless.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Dave Whitsell Jersey .

Puig had two singles and made a strong throw from right field to first to complete a game-ending double play, helping the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres 2-1 on Monday night. "Storybook," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. Adrian Gonzalez and Scott Van Slyke homered for last-place Los Angeles, which had lost two in a row. Stephen Fife allowed one run and five hits in 5 1-3 innings to earn his first major league win. Puig batted leadoff and singled in his first at-bat, drawing high-fives from his new teammates. The 22-year-old Cuban defector was brought up the same day left fielder Carl Crawford went on the disabled list with a strained hamstring. After the game, the ball from Puigs first single was in a plastic bag with the date and description labeled in black marker. It was stashed in a half-opened drawer in his locker. "Impressive," marveled infielder Luis Cruz. San Diego got the potential tying run on first in the ninth when Brandon League walked Chris Denorfia with one out. But Kyle Blanks flied out to right and Puig fired to first to get Denorfia. "Im going to do little things on the field to help the team even when Im not hitting," Puig said through a translator. He took a curtain call after the game, obliging the cheering fans. "I thank the fans for coming out and being here," he said. "I know theres a lot of people in Cuba cheering for me. Im very happy." The Dodgers had lost six of their previous 10 games, and as the ball flew Blanks bat and went high in the air, Mattingly couldnt help but anticipate the worst. "Im thinking that ball is going out of the ballpark the way things have been going," he said. But Puig caught it and made an on-target throw to first standing about a step from the wall. "With all the hype, its really just amazing the game ends like that," Mattingly said. "Yeah, it surprised me, but thats Hollywood." Padres manager Bud Black was impressed, too. "You dont see that play very often," he said. "Deno reacted well, hustled back, but I think the play was made by the strength of the arm and the accuracy of the throw." Puig signed a $42 million, seven-year contract with the Dodgers last June. He showed promise in spring training, hitting .517 with three homers and 11 RBIs in 27 games before he was sent to the minors. "Hes an energetic guy, eager to get on the field, loves the game and always has a smile on his face," Gonzalez said. "We all know hes gott a great arm.dddddddddddd" Fife (1-0) struck out five and walked two. The right-hander was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque earlier in the day to replace left-hander Chris Capuano, who was scratched because of a strained left triceps. "Seven tries and finally got one," he said, with a ball noting his first big league win in his locker. "It was jitters to start the game with a leadoff walk. The first double play in the first inning kind of settled me in." Fife made the second consecutive spot start for the injury-riddled Dodgers after Matt Magill filled in for Hyun-Jin Ryu in Sundays 7-2 loss at Colorado. The 26-year-old right-hander made one previous start for Los Angeles on April 21 against Baltimore, resulting in a no-decision. He then went on the DL with right shoulder bursitis before making one rehab start. League pitched the ninth for his 12th save in 15 chances. Left-hander Eric Stults (4-5) pitched seven solid innings, but was saddled with the hard-luck loss. Gonzalez hit his team-leading eighth homer into the Padres bullpen with two outs in the first inning. Van Slyke made it 2-0 in the second with a leadoff homer. The Padres cut it to 2-1 in the sixth on Chase Headleys RBI single that scored Alexi Amarista, who doubled. They had won five straight games at Dodger Stadium dating to last season, including a three-game sweep from April 15-17. The Padres also threatened in the eighth when Everth Cabrera singled and stole second with one out. But Kenley Jansen retired the next two batters to end the inning.
