LANDOVER, Md. -- After Robert Griffin III was hurt yet again, Kirk Cousins couldnt miss. The Washington Redskins lost both Griffin to a dislocated ankle and DeSean Jackson to a sprained shoulder in the first quarter Sunday with injuries that by no means appeared minor. While that might have major repercussions for the season, Cousins and his teammates were able to shrug it off against the woeful Jacksonville Jaguars in a 41-10 win. Cousins, looking more comfortable in new coach Jay Grudens offence than Griffin ever did, completed his first 12 passes and finished 22 of 33 for 250 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Ryan Kerrigan had four sacks and the defence had 10 -- both tying franchise records -- and Washington didnt allow the Jaguars past midfield until the final two minutes of the first half. Washington (1-1) dominated 449-148 in total yards against a Jacksonville team that, combined with the previous week, allowed 55 unanswered points until Chad Henne hit Marcedes Lewis for a 63-yard score with 1:40 to go in the half. The Jaguars are 0-2 for the third consecutive season. The Redskins ended a nine-game regular-season losing streak -- the second-longest in franchise history -- and gave Gruden his first win as an NFL head coach, but the future is cloudy because of the health of their two most dynamic playmakers. Griffin dislocated his left ankle and was carted off with his leg in a splint, while Jackson sprained his left shoulder and was supporting his arm and shoulder gingerly as he walked toward the tunnel. Not surprisingly, the team soon announced that neither would return. Griffin was scheduled for X-rays and an MRI to determine more about his injury. He and Gruden did not offer a timetable for the quarterbacks return, but the injury typically sidelines NFL players for at least two months. If there is also a fracture, Griffin will need surgery and will almost certainly be done for the year. The prognosis is better for Redskins receiver Jackson, who sprained his AC joint and held out hope that he will be able to play next week against the Philadelphia Eagles. Griffin has been trying to learn to be more of a pocket-passer under Gruden, but he was hurt while being his typical RG3 self. He made a leaping, across-the-body throw near the sideline while being pursued by linebacker Paul Posluszny, then landed awkwardly on his ankle as he tumbled out of bounds. The pass was caught by Jackson for an 11-yard gain. After his leg was placed in a splint, Griffin wiped his brow and waved, saluted and gave a thumbs-up signal to the crowd as he was carted along the sideline toward the players tunnel. The fans chanted "R-G-3!" It was the latest setback for a promising but injury-marred career. Griffin missed all or part of four games in his record-setting rookie season of 2012 due to various injuries, including a torn right ACL that led to reconstructive knee surgery. He tore the same ACL in college at Baylor. Two plays after Griffin was hurt, Cousins hit fullback Darrel Young for a 20-yard touchdown pass for the games first score. On the Redskins next series, Jackson landed on his shoulder after getting tangled with safety Josh Evans on an incomplete pass. The three-time Pro Bowl receiver was the Redskins prized free agency acquisition this year, signing a three-year, $24 million contract with $16 million guaranteed after getting cut by the Eagles. Nevertheless, the Redskins soon had a 21-0 lead after a pair of 1-yard touchdown runs by Alfred Morris. Morris finished with 85 yards on 22 carries. Niles Paul, playing for sidelined tight end Jordan Reed (hamstring), had a touchdown catch and set career highs with eight catches for 99 yards. Henne finished 14 of 28 for 193 yards. Lewis, who scored Jacksonvilles only touchdown, suffered a high ankle sprain on the first play of the third quarter and was carted to the locker room. He did not return. Doug Martin Jersey .

PYONGYANG, North Korea -- Dennis Rodman apologized Thursday for comments he made in North Korea about a detained American missionary, saying he had been drinking and was under pressure as he organized a game with former NBA players. The former basketball star issued the apology through publicist Jules Feiler in an email message to The Associated Press, a day after he sang "Happy Birthday" to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at the start of the friendly game. Rodman has been slammed for not using his influence with Kim to help free Kenneth Bae, the missionary in poor health who is being confined in North Korea for "anti-state" crimes. In an interview with CNN on Tuesday, Rodman implied Bae was at fault. "I want to apologize," Rodman said Thursday. "I take full responsibility for my actions. It had been a very stressful day. Some of my teammates were leaving because of pressure from their families and business associates. My dreams of basketball diplomacy was quickly falling apart. I had been drinking. Its not an excuse but by the time the interview happened I was upset. I was overwhelmed. Its not an excuse, its just the truth." Rodman said he wanted to apologize first to Baes family. "Im very sorry. At this point I should know better than to make political statements. Im truly sorry." In the interview, Rodman was asked whether he would raise the issue of Bae during his visit. "Kenneth Bae did one thing," Rodman replied. "If you understand what Kenneth Bae did -- do you understand what he did in this country?" Asked to explain, Rodman declined to respond. Bae, a Korean-American Christian missionary and tour operator based in China, has been detained for more than a year. North Korea sees missionary work as a threat to its authoritarian government. Baes sister, Terri Chung, welcomed Rodmans apology. "I think its good to see him recognize the gravity and the urgency of Kens plight," she said from her home in Edmonds, Washington. "Its nothing he can make light of or play games with." "I just want to make sure that everyone -- not just DDennis Rodman -- everyone knows about Kenneth Baes plight and how precarious it is," she said.dddddddddddd The U.S. State Department distanced itself from Rodman and said it did not want to "dignify" his activities or comments in Pyongyang by commenting on them. But spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the department was open to speaking with Rodman on his return. "We have not reached out to him. Weve said before, if he wants to reach out to us, were happy to hear from him and what he has to say," she told reporters. Rodman dedicated the game to his "best friend" Kim, who along with his wife and other senior officials and their wives watched from a special seating area. The capacity crowd of about 14,000 at the Pyongyang Indoor Stadium clapped loudly as Rodman sang a verse from the birthday song and then bowed deeply to Kim, seated above him in the stands. Rodman said he was honoured to be able to play the game in the North Korean capital and called the event "historic." Some members of the U.S. Congress, the NBA and human rights groups, however, say he has become a public relations tool for North Koreas government. The governments poor human rights record and its threats to use nuclear weapons against rival South Korea and the United States have kept it a pariah state. Kim shocked the world in December by having his uncle, once considered his mentor, executed after being accused of a litany of crimes including corruption, womanizing, drug abuse and attempting to seize power. Rodman has refused to address those concerns while continuing to forge a relationship with Kim. Rodman is the highest-profile American to meet Kim, who inherited power after the death of his father in late 2011. Rodman has said he is not a statesman and instead is seeking only to build cultural connections with the North through basketball that may help improve relations between Pyongyang and Washington. Along with Rodman, the former NBA players included ex-All Stars Kenny Anderson, Cliff Robinson and Vin Baker. Also on the roster were Craig Hodges, Doug Christie, Charles D. Smith and four streetballers.
