Two plays after Griffin exited, Cousins hooked up with fullback Darrel Young on a 20-yard score to put the Redskins ahead 7-0. Morris found the end zone from 1 yard out twice in the second quarter as Washington led 21-7 at the break.

Kai Forbath's 35-yard field goal accounted for the only points in the third quarter and Cousins' short TD pass to Niles Paul made it 31-7 early in the fourth. Silas Redd recorded a late 14-yard TD run for the Redskins, who ougained the Jaguars 449-148 and outrushed Jacksonville 191-25.

Preview: Jacksonville Jaguars at Washington Redskins

The Jacksonville Jaguars played one great half in their season opener, which is more than the Washington Redskins can say. Two teams that left Week 1 with a bitter taste in their mouths will square off Sunday afternoon in Washington's home opener. Jacksonville is coming off a 34-17 loss at Philadelphia in which it was outscored 34-0 in the second half, while the Redskins managed only six points in a Week 1 defeat against Houston, which had dropped its previous 14 games.

"When games are so close, a couple of big plays are going to be the difference," Washington first-year coach Jay Gruden said after his team's 17-6 defeat. "We're going to be in a lot of those close games, so we have to figure out how to make them and how to stop them." The Redskins were doomed by a myriad of mistakes, including two lost fumbles, a blocked punt, a blocked extra point, seven penalties and 3-of-12 third-down conversions. The Jaguars had plenty of their own issues in the second half, prompting coach Gus Bradley to say, "It's going to be a good lesson for us to take a look at this game and see it is
going to be a full 60 minutes that you have to play."

On the bright side, no teams in the NFL had more sacks than the Jaguars (five) in Week 1, two of which came from Ryan Davis.

Fullback Darrel Young scored the only points for the Redskins, who have outrushed their opponent in 14 of their last 17 games. Pierre Garcon, who led the NFL with a franchise-record 113 receptions in 2013, picked up where he left off with 10 grabs for 77 yards against Houston.
