And as ESPN.com's Dan Graziano noted, Griffin did it in one of the toughest places in the entire league for a visiting QB to play. The Redskins' offensive game plan was designed to maximize Griffin's strengths, and he executed it very well. He was 6-for-6 on an opening field goal drive on which he didn't throw one pass beyond the line of scrimmage, and on the first play of the second possession he hit Pierre Garcon for an 88-yard touchdown pass. For the rest of the day, the Redskins called rollout after rollout, using Griffin's outstanding speed to keep him in space and out of the way of the New Orleans pass rush, and he consistently made good decisions and accurate throws downfield. If Redskins fans wanted to wrap up their day excited about their future with Griffin as the franchise quarterback, they got their wish. And it looks like Fantasy owners will get theirs too.
