Report: RG3 benched, McCoy to start at QB for Redskins
Nov 26, 2014 - 5:14 AM Ashburn, VA (SportsNetwork.com) - The Washington Redskins will bench Robert Griffin III and start Colt McCoy at quarterback for Sunday's upcoming game against the Indianapolis Colts, according to a report by NFL.com.Griffin has been sacked 17 times in three games since returning from an ankle injury and was just 11-of-19 for 106 yards with a lost fumble in Sunday's loss at San Francisco.
Griffin still appears to be a significant part of Washington's future plans. The team must decide during the offseason whether they want to exercise an option to extend his contract through 2016.
The Redskins won two consecutive games earlier this season with McCoy under center.
McCoy replaced an ineffective Kirk Cousins in the second half of the Redskins' Week 7 matchup against Tennessee and rallied the team to a 19-17 decision. He then led the way in an overtime road upset of Dallas a week later.
