    Colt McCoy had trouble keeping his eyes dry and his voice steady.

    The one-time NFL starter had been through the quarterback wilderness 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 Washington Redskins.

    "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 Kirk Cousins' halftime benching provided a lift to an otherwise ho-hum game between ho-hum teams.

    The Redskins beat the Tennessee Titans 19-17 Sunday, snapping a four-game skid on Kai Forbath's 22-yard field goal as time expired.
