With the the No. 2 pick from the 2012 NFL draft Robert Griffin III making his NFL career debut, you would think that would be the biggest story of this game, but think again. The New Orleans Saints have dominated the tabloids and sports world the entire season with the recent bounty scandal that led to the year-long suspension of head-coach Sean Payton as well as the exile of Gregg Williams. Assistant coach, Joe Vitt is also serving suspension and will be eligible to return for week 7. But that’s not it. After a lengthy off-season long holdout, the Saints finally agreed to give Drew Brees his well deserving contract at 5 years/$100M. $60M of which that’s guaranteed made it’s the largest ever in NFL history
Redskins coach, Mike Shannahan is getting a huge upgrade with RG3 over RGNegative (Rex Grossman) in hopes to turn the franchise around. With an improved offensive line this line this season and depth, that should be enough to keep this game close and RG3 protected.
