LANDOVER, Md. -- had trouble keeping his eyes dry and his voice steady.The one-time NFL starter had been through the quarterback wilderne s of scout-team snaps and inactive Sundays since the last time the league had paid him any mind.And yet here he was, a quarterback not named Griffin or Cousins who had just led a game-winning fourth-quarter drive for the ."It's been two years, and I don't want to get emotional," McCoy said. "But I'm just thankful that I've hung in there and kept fighting."McCoy's relief appearance after ' halftime benching provided a lift to an Patrick Beverley Jersey otherwise ho-hum game between ho-hum teams.The beat the 19-17 Sunday, snapping a four-game skid on 's 22-yard field goal as time expired."We went through some adversity, changed quarterbacks, and Colt played a hell of a game," Washington defensive end said."I think it's good for us, because I think we forgot how it feels to win. They say it's and we're supposed to win, but it's so hard to win."After Cousins committed his 10th and 11th turnovers of the season and the were booed off the field at halftime trailing 10-6, McCoy emerged at the behest of coach and watched his first pa s - a simple curl route - turn into a career-long 70-yard touchdown, with doing most of the work after the catch.Never mind it was the first time McCoy had stepped into a huddle with the ' full first-team offense.Even in training camp, he rarely if ever threw a pa s to Garcon in a full-team drill Rodney McGruder Jersey ."I like Jay a lot," McCoy said. "And when Jay came and told me to be ready to play, I just didn't want to let him down."It was McCoy's first NFL pa s in nearly a year and his first touchdown pa s since December 2012 with the .Go back even further and you'll find the last time McCoy played a significant role in a victory: Nov. 20, 2011, when he was the ' regular starter."This league Jerome Robinson Jersey ," McCoy said, "is very unforgiving."McCoy completed 11 of 12 pa ses for 128 yards and moved the into chip-shot range for Forbath after Washington took over at its 20 with 3:14 to play.He found for 10 yards, for 9. A long pa s to resulted in a 22-yard pa s interference penalty on that put the ball at the Tenne see 7-yard line.McCoy's me sage in the huddle before that final drive: "I looked them in the eye and said, 'Hey, I'm going to do my job. You do yours, and we're going to win this game.'"Gruden didn't name a quarterback for next week's game against the , but with (dislocated ankle) not expected back for at least two more weeks, the coach indicated that McCoy would get the start Landry Shamet Jersey ."It's a good sign the way that Colt finished the game," Gruden said.McCoy bettered the output of another backup, , who subbed again for the injured (bruised right thumb). Whitehurst completed 17 of 26 pa ses for 160 yards with two touchdowns and one interception for the mistake-prone (2-5).He hit for a 38-yard scoring pa s with 7:41 to play to give his team a 17-16 lead that ultimately didn't last."Being 2-5 and losing two heartbreakers in the last three weeks, we can only go up," Tenne see safety said.The committed too many head-shaking mistakes. Of course, the did, too - which is why it was a two-point game.The called timeout three times in the first quarter. The were offside while defending a punt, giving up a first down. The , not to be outdone, went offside on a kickoff.Washington had two sacks wiped out by illegal contact downfield and had a scoring drive of minus-3 yards.One play after Whitehurst threw an interception, Cousins did the same. The got 32 yards out of the exchange - more than they gained on any offensive play in the first half - and it led to the game's first touchdown. made an unwise decision to field a line-drive punt and fumbled it away, giving the excellent field position that resulted in a field goal.The teams combined for 18 penalties for 146 yards."I don't know how many times today we were in first-and-20," coach said. "Those are hard to overcome."Notes: LB injured his right pectoral muscle in the fourth quarter and will have an MRI on Monday. ... These were the two worst third down teams in the NFL entering the game, so it's Paul George Jersey only fitting that both converted a mere 3-for-11 Sunday.Copyright 2014 by The A sociated Pre sRelive 's performance against the with
