The Seahawks beat the Redskins in Washington yesterday – despite rumors of the 'Skins pumping artificial noise into the stadium – and today's conversation centered around RG3, who went down with injury in the fourth quarter. His knee was shaky before the game and the rookie was clearly limited. Coach Mike Shanahan kept Griffin in the game, though, and it could prove a costly long-term decision. RG3 has an MRI scheduled for today. The world awaits…
