Due to a neck injury to quarterback Colt McCoy, Robert Griffin III has once again taken the reins at the quarterback position for the Washington Redskins.

Reactions:

Now as it turns out, RBIII started the game on a roll, completing a perfect six out of six passes for 75 yards and a touchdown. And indeed, it looks like there’s nothing like scoring to smooth things over.

However on RGIII’s second drive in what can be interpreted as a “final chance game”, he went back to his old ways by throwing a three and out. So naturally, skepticism reemerged.

But at the end of the half, ironically on a day where all the focus is on fellow Heisman winner Johnny Manziel, RBIII again led his team  to a scoring drive, ending the drive with a brilliant leaping touchdown. #Vintage!!

But wait. That wasn’t a touchdown. The referee reversed the ruling, so instead of a RGIII touchdown, it’s a RBIII fumble.

Likewise:

Stay tuned to the second half of Redskins-Giants for more RGIII action! At the half it’s 10-7 Redskins.
