The Redskins are back in it.

Quarterback Kirk Cousins finally is hitting some throws against a conservative Steelers defense, and a catch-and-run from tight end Vernon Davis set up a short touchdown run by Chris Thompson.

It’s 24-16, Steelers, with 13:01 left in the game.

The Redskins got the first six points, the Steelers got the next 24 as Ben Roethlisberger threw three touchdown passes, and the Redskins have scored the last 10 to get back within one score with plenty of time left.
