LANDOVER, Md. -- As Kirk Cousins goes, so go the Washington Redskins. Thats the way it was on the way to an NFC East title last season -- and thats the way its been on the way to an 0-2 start this season.Things did not start auspiciously for Cousins and the Redskins during a scoreless first quarter of what would become a 27-23 loss to the division rival Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. And things didnt finish particularly well, either, including two second-half red-zone trips that ended with field goals and, even worse, a first-and-goal at the 6 that ended with an end-zone interception .Hopefully, him, as a quarterback, hell figure it out and get us rolling as an offense. I think hes been doing a good job, just a couple of unfortunate plays out there, wideout DeSean Jackson said. Sometimes things go wrong.As for the red-zone issues, Jackson summed it up this way: Were just sticking ourselves in the foot with a knife.On third-and-7 from Dallas 37 on Washingtons opening possession, Cousins had Jamison Crowder wide open and behind the defense for what should have been an easy-as-can-be TD. But he overthrew the second-year receiver, and that bad miss ended the drive, because coach Jay Gruden chose to punt.Cousins chalked that one up to passing the ball at a slightly different angle than Crowder took.Then, in the second quarter, he had another ugly overthrow, going way too deep for even the speedy Jackson, who also had no defender near him.Just misjudged it, Cousins said.Last season, his first chance to start 16 games after sitting behind Robert Griffin III for three years, Cousins set an NFL record for completion percentage at home, set a team record with 4,166 yards passing and cut down on his propensity for picks, totaling 29 TDs and 11 interceptions.Washington decided to use the franchise tag worth nearly $20 million on him this season rather than agreeing to a long-term deal, and as Cousins attempts to prove his worth again, he has one touchdown and three interceptions in a pair of losses.To just dwell on frustration or dwell on `woulda, coulda, shoulda isnt going to get us anywhere, said Cousins, who was 28 of 46 for 364 yards and a passer rating of 84. That wouldnt be mentally tough team.Gruden opted to offer a defense of Cousins.Its a tough game. Hes got people around his feet . Hes got to make some tough throws -- usually ones he would normally hit, but he missed a few today, the third-year coach said. Well coach him up. Cant put it all on Kirk. Theres a lot of other issues that we have today, thats for sure.Now Washington faces the daunting task of going on the road to play at the New York Giants (2-0) next week, in danger of dropping to last place in the division and three full games out of first place.If the Redskins fans are panicking, the players tried to put on a happy face after losing to a Cowboys squad that has rookies starting at quarterback (Dak Prescott) and running back (Ezekiel Elliott).Were going to be all right. Its early. Everybody thinks were in the morgue or something. Were not dead, by no means, cornerback Josh Norman said.

MLS Commissioner Don Garber and Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez also will attend the session, which was announced Monday.

PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Rick Porcello stepped off the mound, gathered his thoughts and went back to work.I was off a little mechanically. It was kind of tough for me to regain my focus, so I was doing everything I could to slow the game down, the Boston pitcher said after minimizing the damage during a bases-loaded, fourth-inning jam and helping the Red Sox end a three-game losing streak with an 8-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night.Porcello (9-2) retired the last nine batters he faced after walking Nick Franklin to force in the only run he allowed. The right-hander scattered five hits, walked three and struck out eight over six innings.He had his back against the wall in those first four innings, but he did an outstanding job, Red Sox manager John Farrell said. Even when he lost a little bit of the strike zone in the fourth inning, he didnt give in. He didnt make a mistake that might have cost him multiple runs on base hits.Travis Shaw homered and drove in five runs for the third time this season for Boston, one of just two teams -- along with Cleveland -- that have yet to have a losing streak of four or more games this year.That fourth inning, it was a huge spot to get out of that jam, Shaw said. A lot of things havent been going right, but I dont think our confidence or our faith in everybody in this locker room was swayed one bit.Shaw had a solo homer, a two-run double and a two-run single. David Ortiz continued to climb the career RBI list with a third-inning double, and Jackie Bradley Jr. and Hanley Ramirez also drove in runs for Boston.We had a very good offensive night, Farrell said. Travis Shaw hitting the home run kind of jumpstarted us, and a big night he continued to have.Shaw homered in the second inning. Ortizs hit gave the Red Sox a 2-0 lead against Chris Archer (4-11), whos gone from being an All-Star a year ago to leading the major leagues in losses this season.One night after moving ahead of Reggie Jackson for sole possession of 24th on the career RBI list, the slugger pulled even with another Hall of Famer, Frank Thomas, for 23rd with 1,704.Overall, I felt like I pitched a decent game, Archer said. But it was not good enough to get the win, so Im not very happy with it.Light-hitting Tampa Bay snapped an 11-game losing streak on Monday night, pounding out a season-high 18 hits in a 13-7 wiin that saddled Boston with its sixth loss in eight games.ddddddddddddThe offensive outburst didnt spill over to Tuesday.The Rays loaded the bases with no outs in the fourth, but only scored once -- with Porcellos third walk of the inning forcing in the run. The Boston right-hander, who had not walked more than two batters in any of his previous 19 starts, wiggled off the hook by getting Logan Forsythe to fly to right field and fanning Hank Conger and Brad Miller.Ultimately, it came down to the fourth inning, Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash said. We didnt get it done when we had an opportunity.Porcello and reliever Junichi Tazawa didnt allow another baserunner until Millers solo homer trimmed Tampa Bays deficit to 6-2 with two outs in the seventh.Archer, who allowed four runs and seven hits over 6 1/3 innings, fell to 1-8 lifetime against the Red Sox, whove won eight straight decisions against the right-hander.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: SS Xander Bogaerts, who leads the majors with 109 hits and is batting .343, had a scheduled day off. ... C Ryan Hanigan (strained neck) will have his status evaluated after catching a full game Wednesday with Triple-A Pawtucket.Rays: OF Corey Dickerson (sore left thumb) missed his third straight but was available to pinch hit. ... RHP Alex Cobb (Tommy John surgery) is scheduled to throw a batting practice session Thursday.CLOSING TIMERays closer Alex Colome was placed on the 15-day disabled list with right medial biceps tendinitis. The move was retroactive to June 19, so the right-hander is eligible to come off the DL on Monday. Were not too concerned, said manager Kevin Cash, who plans to mix-and-match late in games with Colome sidelined.UP NEXTRed Sox: LHP David Price (8-4, 4.68 ERA) starts the series finale against his former team. The 2012 AL Cy Young Award winner ranks among the league leaders in strikeouts, innings pitched and wins. He has an AL-leading four outings with double-digit strikeouts, most by a Boston pitcher in a single season since Jon Lester had seven in 2010.Rays: LHP Matt Moore is 3-4 with a 5.40 ERA in eight career appearances against Boston, including seven starts. Hes 1-2 with a 6.35 ERA in three starts against the Red Sox at Tropicana Field.
