EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — A game-changing fumble by Robert Griffin III as time expired in the first half paved the way for yet another Washington Redskins' defeat.
Griffin, who had been benched for Colt McCoy,NFL Jerseys Outlet, finished 18 of 27 for 236 yards. He also ran five times for 46 yards in an impressive performance, but was sacked seven times. There were moments late in the game when the oft-injured quarterback had trouble getting up.
McCoy started and led the Redskins to a field goal before leaving after aggravating a neck injury on the opening series.
"I was heated that we had something taken away from us and I probably didn't see it the way they saw it," the 14-year veteran said. "I spoke how I felt and I got too close the ref. I was wrong and I apologize."

Moss was apologetic after the game.

The game, however, seemingly was decided on the final play of the first half when Griffin scrambled for an apparent 8-yard score and a 17-7 lead, diving over the pylon and then running on to the field and spiking the ball.
"We shouldn't have let that play alter the game for us," Griffin said. "Ultimately, it did. It's a touchdown. That's how we all felt, everybody in the locker room,Cheap NFL Jerseys, coaches included. My understanding is, if the ball passes the plane and you have control of the ball, it's a touchdown in every game that I've ever seen. They decided that it wasn't today."
"It seems like we just can't catch a break," Redskins running back Alfred Morris said. "Little things like that can change the momentum of a game. It can be the difference between winning and losing."
Washington's only points in the second half came on a 38-yard field goal by Kai Forbath. |
