Game Notes: Washington Redskins at New York Giants

· The Washington Redskins fell to the New York Giants, 24-13, in front of an announced crowd of 77,628 people at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.

· Quarterback Colt McCoy started for Washington and completed 4-of-7 passes for 39 yards and rushed twice for 24 yards before exiting the game with an injury.

· McCoy recorded a 19-yard run in the first quarter, his longest rush since posting a career-long 20-yarder as a member of the Cleveland Browns on Nov. 27, 2011.

· Quarterback Robert Griffin III played in relief and completed 18-of-27 passes for 236 yards with one touchdown. Griffin III also added 46 rushing yards on five carries.

· With 236 passing yards on the day, Griffin III (7,541) passed Jay Schroeder (7,445) for 10th-most passing yards in team history.

· The Redskins rushed for 144 yards on 27 attempts. The team’s 5.33-yards-per-carry average was its highest since Week 1 at Houston (5.70).

· The Redskins had seven different players record a rushing attempt in the game (Morris, Griffin III, McCoy, Thompson, Young, Redd, Jr. and DeSean Jackson). It marked the first time seven different members of the Redskins had registered a carry in a single game since Nov. 4, 2012 vs. Carolina.

· With 14 carries on the day, running back Alfred Morris (843) passed Cliff Battles (839) for the eighth-most rushing attempts in team history.

· Linebacker Ryan Kerrigan pushed his career-high sack total this season to 12.5 with a sack of Eli Manning in the third quarter.

· Kerrigan tied Marco Coleman (12.5 in 2000) for the sixth-most sacks in a single season in team history.

· Kerrigan has recorded at least a full sack in four consecutive games for the first time in his career. He is the first member of the Redskins with at least 1.0 sack in four straight games since Brian Orakpo in Weeks 10-13 last season.

· Running back Chris Thompson made his season debut, appearing in his first game action since Week 4 last season.

· In the second quarter, Thompson scored a touchdown on the first reception of his career on a nine-yard pass from Griffin III.

· Thompson became the first member of the Redskins to score a touchdown on his first career reception since Darrel Young vs. Philadelphia on Nov. 15, 2010.

· Thompson finished the day with three rushes for 12 yards and three receptions for 22 yards.

· The touchdown pass was the third of the season for Griffin III and the 39th of his career. With the touchdown, Griffin III tied Schroeder for 10th-most passing touchdowns in team history.

· Griffin III gained 23 yards on a third-quarter run, his longest of the season and his longest since a 23-yard rush vs. Chicago on Oct. 20, 2013.

· Wide receiver Andre Roberts gained a season-high 81 receiving yards, his most since gaining 97 yards on eight receptions as a member of the Arizona Cardinals in Week 1 last season.

· The pass was Griffin III’s longest since a 62-yard touchdown pass to fullback Darrel Young at Philadelphia on Nov. 17, 2013.

· The play was the Redskins’ ninth passing play of 50 or more yards this season. The Redskins entered the game trailing only Green Bay and Philadelphia (nine each) in 50-yard pass plays this season.

· The Redskins scored a field goal on the team’s first possession of the game, marking the sixth time this season the team has scored on its opening possession.

· The drive lasted 13 plays, the team’s longest scoring drive by number of plays since a 13-play scoring drive to open the team’s Week 9 game at Minnesota.

· The 35-yard field goal by Kai Forbath on the opening drive was the 55th made field goal of Forbath’s career, passing Sam Baker and John Hall to give him sole possession of sixth-most in team history.

With all the angst about Griffin's play this year, I think these two stats sum up the total suckitude of the Redskins QB situation throughout it's entire history. A guy who has only played 2 full years and a handful of games in his 3rd, is considered a bust by so many, is in the top 10 in Redskins history for yards and TDs.

Think you're missing the boat on this one Kel. Half of the starting QBs this season will break 4000 total yards passing. That would've been an unheard of achievement even 10 years or so ago. NFL passing has been revolutionized and stats don't mean much when comparing across eras.

One stat that did jump out at me today, as much grief and pounding as Griffin has taken this year from his critics, he's completing 70% of his passes. Hard to believe you could be achieving that level of passing success and be on the fringes of being run out of the NFL by your own coaches.

You are correct about how the game has changed as far as passing. But if someone told you that RG3 was top 10 in yards and TDs in Redskins history, would you believe it? I wouldn't.

Exactly. Moreover, during the period when the NFL was loosening things up to allow for more passing, we've had diddly and squat at the QB position. Other than that, Sideshow Bob (I'm trademarking that :smile: ) being this far up the list really doesn't mean much.

Yeah, but when you're panicking and dumping the ball off to the release when you actually do have enough time to let the #1 and #2 option get open, then it is as difficult to complete those 2 yard passes.
 
Gotta be tough putting this together. Hard to garner much excitement to read more less compile. Good job.
 
The team puts it out each week.
