The game is out of hand, and the field is a mess.

So it appears the Redskins are going to protect quarterback Robert Griffin III.

Backup Kirk Cousins has entered the game early in the fourth quarter, with the Redskins trailing 45-10.

Griffin was 12-of-26 passing for 164 yards, with a touchdown and an interception. He was also sacked five times, and gained just 29 yards on four rushes.
