2. There is a quarterback controversy in Washington
The Redskins may deny that there is a quarterback controversy, but Kirk Cousins has clearly outplayed Robert Griffin III this year. Griffin went down with a dislocated ankle on Sunday, and Cousins stepped in and performed admirably. Griffin had struggled in Week 1, so this gives fans reason to believe Cousins is the superior quarterback.
Griffin is expected to return at some point this season, so it may be awkward for the Redskins if Cousins continues to perform well. Since Griffin is a first-round pick who the Redskins traded the farm for, it will be difficult to bench him.
