PLAYERS: Rob Ryan,  Aldrick Robinson,  Pierre Garcon,  Santana Moss,  Niles Paul,  Robert Griffin III
TEAMS: Washington Redskins

Ryan had to back off when Griffin engineered four first-half touchdown drives, grabbing a 28-3 lead. RG3 dialed up a second-quarter moonshot TD bomb to Aldrick Robinson from 68 yards away, and found Pierre Garcon over the middle for a late first-half intermediate strike that Garcon took 59 yards to the house. Griffin’s third passing touchdown came off a bootleg deep in the red zone, and Santana Moss got both feet in bounds for the six-yard score. The Cowboys appeared to blow coverage on No. 4, which came early in the fourth quarter and was complete to TE Niles Paul. Griffin’s TD-INT ratio is now 16:4. He’s also accounted for 22 TDs and only six turnovers through 1...
