Redskins vs. Vikings: Robert Griffin III leads Washington to 38-26 win Robert Griffin III baffled the Minnesota Vikings a week after he was knocked out of a game with a concussion, and the Washington Redskins followed their rookie quarterback's to their first home victory in more than a year. Griffin ran for two touchdowns and threw for another, as the Redskins scored 24 straight points to erase an early nine-point deficit and beat the Minnesota Vikings, 38-26, Sunday at FedEx Field. The Redskins evened their record at 3-3 and snapped an eight-game losing streak at home that dated to last season. Their last win at FedEx Field was on Sept. Griffin sealed the triumph with a dazzling 76-yard touchdown sprint with 2 minutes 43 seconds to go, just as the Redskins seemed to be unraveling. The run put a sudden halt to a Vikings comeback that had reduced their deficit from 31-12 to 31-26. "He saw a lane open up and he was very smart, very aware that that was a six-man rush," said Coach Mike Shanahan. If they don't get Robert right away, he's into the secondary and for sure he's got a first down. Not too many quarterbacks can outrun those defensive backs. That was a heck of a play. You don't see that very often. The Vikings (4-2) got 79 rushing yards by tailback Adrian Peterson and 133 receiving yards from wide receiver Percy Harvin. Quarterback Christian Ponder threw for 352 yards. But Minnesota couldn't get into the end zone against the Redskins defense for nearly 3-1/2 quarters, managing only four field goals as the Redskins built their 31-12 cushion. Ponder threw a nine-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Michael Jenkins and added a two-point conversion throw to get the Vikings to within 31-20 with just more than eight minutes remaining. Ponder added a one-yard touchdown pass to tight end Kyle Rudolph with about 3-1/2 minutes to play. But the Vikings failed on that two-point conversion attempt, and Griffin followed with his electrifying final touchdown. Ponder's final pass was intercepted in the end zone by Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall. In addition to Griffin's theatrics, tailback Alfred Morris scored on a short touchdown run. The Redskins also scored their fourth defensive touchdown of the season, and their secon in two games, when safety Madieu Williams went 24 yards against his former team after intercepting a fourth-quarter pass by Ponder. But the day belonged to Griffin. He threw an interception but completed 17 of 22 passes for 182 yards. He added 138 rushing yards on 13 carries before a crowd that roared "RG-3! RG-3!" at his exploits. Griffin was back in the Redskins" lineup one week after suffering a concussion on a third-quarter hit during an Oct. 7 loss at home to the Atlanta Falcons. He was cleared by doctors and was back on the practice field Wednesday, and he participated fully in Friday's practice. He showed no ill effects Sunday, though he drew cheers from the fans when he ran out of bounds after a seven-yard gain on the opening play of the Redskins" second drive. Griffin had vowed during the week to be smarter about self-preservation without abandoning his aggressive style of play, and his teammates said they think the young quarterback will learn to protect himself better as his career progresses.
