Robert Griffin III:

Griffin himself did not do too bad. Yes, he wasn’t completley himself. He wasn’t stepping into his throws, similar to Tom Brady when he came back after ACL surgery as () suggests. The biggest problem was, he wasn’t on the field enough when the game still counted. A 30 for 49 for 329 yards and 2 touchdowns doesn’t overshadow his two interceptions, or how the first seven offensive plays were either fumbles or led to punts. Overall, not a bad performance, but certainly not the dominant one we have come to expect from Griffin.
