Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins will face Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

Griffin has sometimes been compared to Newton, who is a mobile quarterback in his second NFL season.

"I’d rather be compared to an Aaron Rodgers or a guy like that," said Griffin when asked about the Newton comparisons. "Someone who has won Super Bowls."

The Pittsburgh Steelers improved to 4-3 and 3-0 at home with a 27-12 win over the Washington Redskins

The Steelers had a +13.1 advantage in The Trench Counter, averaging 1.7 more yards per pass and 1.1 more yards per rush, along with eight additional first downs. Pittsburgh had a +14 edge in Total Rushes/Completions.

Jonathan Dwyer paced the Steelers' run game, gaining 107 yards on 17 carries.

Ben Roethlisberger went 24-for-33 for 222 yards, three touchdowns and no sacks.

Robert Griffin III went 16-for-34 for 177 yards and one touchdown.

DeAngelo Hall was ejected from the Washington Redskins' loss to the Steelers for berating an official with an obscenity-laced tirade.

In the final minutes of the fourth quarter, Hall wrestled Emmanuel Sanders at the end of a play. Head linesman Dana Mckenzie broke up the fight, but Hall then began yelling in his face. 

Officials gave Hall two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.

After the game, Hall refused to discuss the specifics of the incident.

 “Any questions on the football aspect of the game? I’m not going to discuss that particular play,” Hall said in front of his locker. “I’ve got a meeting scheduled with Commissioner [Roger] Goodell on Monday, me and him will talk about it, watch the film and figure out what went down, get to the bottom of this.”

Pierre Garcon has a torn ligament on the bottom of his right foot and he's hoping to avoid surgery.

Garcon has missed four of the Washington Redskins' past six games as a "plantar plate tear" near his second toe. 

Garcon visited a foot specialist Wednesday.

The Washington Redskins released Ryan Grant on Tuesday.

The Redskins have signed Keiland Williams to replace Grant in the backfield.

Chris Cooley has agreed to re-sign with the Washington Redskins.

Cooley rejoins the Redskins following Fred Davis' season-ending Achilles' injury.

Cooley drew interest from other NFL teams after he was released by the Redskins.

The New York Giants defeated the Washington Redskins 27-23 in a thriller.

The Giants had a +0.1 edge in The Trench Counter, showing how close the game was even beyond the scoreboard. The Redskins had a +13 advantage in Total Rushes/Completions.

Eli Manning went 26-for-40 for 337 yards, two interceptions and a game-winning 73-yard touchdown pass to Victor Cruz with 1:13 remaining in the fourth quarter. The touchdown came just seconds after the Redskins took the lead with a 30-yard touchdown from Robert Griffin III to Santana Moss.

Cruz finished with seven catches for 131 yards and one touchdown.

Griffin went 20-for-28 for 258 yards, two touchdowns, one interception and a lost fumble.

Alfred Morris rushed 22 times for 120 yards and also had a lost fumble.

Fred Davis is believed to have a torn Achilles' tendon.

Former Washington Redskins' tight end Chris Cooley remains a free agent.

Davis likely will miss the remainder of the season.

Pierre Garcon is unlikely to play for the Washington Redskins on Sunday against the Giants.

Garcon missed practice on Friday due to the inflamed capsule near the second toe of his right foot.

Garcon would only play if another wide receiver is hurt.

The Washington Redskins have lined up in a variety of looks offensively to maximize the effectiveness of Robert Griffin III.

The Redskins will run zone-read options with high frequency, but have also used the triple-option and the pistol. Mike Shanahan has also used the traditional offensive attack from his time with the Broncos and 49ers.

The Redskins even used the wishbone on occasion last week.

The Redskins have the third most yards and second most points.

“Our game plans are pretty dense, and we have many things we can do with it," said Griffin. "If they’re going to shut down one thing, we can go at them with another thing.”

“Every place I have been, everybody says, ‘What do you call this offense?’ [ESPN columnist Rick Reilly had asked me and he wanted a name, so I said, ‘Call it the east Coast Offense’," said Shanahan. "I get tired of answering the question, to be honest with you. I’m not sure what the name of the offense is, but we’re just experimenting with what Robert can do, and we are having fun with it. Hopefully we can keep executing.”
