No. 2 overall pick Robert Griffin III made his NFL debut Sunday against the Saints and quickly had the league buzzing with his outstanding performance. Griffin completed his first eight passes -- including an 88-yard touchdown -- en route to 320 passing yards and a pair of touchdowns, leading the Redskins to a win over the Saints. The 320 passing yards were the second most for a rookie QB in Week 1, behind only Cam Newton's debut last season.
RGIII is a BEAST RIGHT NOW!

When Chris Bosh said "Danny Green won't be open tonight" before the game, he meant "because I am going to leave Duncan wide open instead."

Why did I just wake up and feel like I'm playing in the game tonight. I have a weird anxiety/ nervousness. And now I slap myself.
