Here are five takeaways from the weekend games of Week 11 of the NFL season.
5. Robert Griffin III is an ineffective leader
The Washington Redskins are now 3-7, and they are on track to have another dreadful season. The Redskins quarterback can no longer use his health as an excuse for poor play, especially when it’s against a team like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Redskins only scored seven points against the Buccaneers, who are 30th in scoring defense with 27.9 points allowed per game.
Griffin spoke in a sour mood following the loss, and he proceeded to say that great quarterbacks struggle when their teammates struggle. This immediately caused controversy as he appeared to throw his teammates under the bus, and he is reportedly losing locker room support. Redskins fans also called for Griffin to be benched for Colt McCoy during the loss.
