Washington Could Play Two Straight Weeks In London

Nov 25, 2015 11:46 AM

Washington could become the first team to play two NFL games in London in the same season and in consecutive weeks.

Washington will face the Cincinnati Bengals on Oct. 30th at Wembley Stadium and could also face the St. Louis Rams a week earlier at Twickenham Stadium depending on how the teams finish.

In Wednesday's announcement, the NFL only said the Rams would face an NFC East opponent.

"Washington may play in consecutive weeks in London in 2016, depending on the final standings," the NFL said. "At minimum, they will face the Bengals in Week 8."

Washington Received No Offers For Robert Griffin III

Nov 3, 2015 5:36 PM

Washington didn't receive any offers for Robert Griffin III, who hasn't played at all this season.

The $16.155 million on option on Griffin was picked up by Washington last spring in a move Bruce Allen called a no-brainer at the time.

Griffin's injury history made it a gamble, as did the fact that Jay Gruden didn't believe in him.

Multiple NFL people, from assistant coaches to executives, speculated that any team trading for Griffin might feel they need to change their offense to suit him. This would make an in-season acquisition difficult for any team.
