    There were plenty of reasons for Kirk Cousins and the Washington Redskins to believe this game was not going to go their way.

    They trailed by 24 points in the second quarter, a deficit the team never had overcome in a victory. They had been outscored by 43 points in third quarters so far. Cousins hadn't thrown more than one touchdown pass in any game this season.

    At halftime, coach Jay Gruden -- who had pronounced Sunday's matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a "code red" situation -- lit into his players.

    Something finally clicked. Cousins completed three second-half TDs, including the go-ahead score toJordan Reed with 24 seconds left, and the Redskins came back to stun the Bucs 31-30 for the largest comeback in franchise history.
