Week 10 at Washington Redskins (Sunday Nov. 13, 12 PM CT, Fox)

RG3 has moved on from Washington after a disappointing tenure there. The single highlight of Griffin’s time in Washington will always be his huge game-salting 76-yard TD run against the Vikings in 2012. The Vikings that day simply did not know what to do against the Redskins and their zone-read offense. Leslie Frazier pretty much had no clue how to adjust and the Vikes got their heads beaten in.

The Vikings got revenge against RG3 and the Redskins in 2014 when Teddy Bridgewater led Minnesota on a come-from-behind win that helped establish Teddy’s reputation as a cold-blooded fourth quarter performer.

This year’s meeting against the Redskins will be a battle of 2015 playoff teams who are looking to take the next step. This game could end up having huge implications for both clubs.
