Colt McCoy will start at quarterback Sunday for the Washington Redskins against the Indianapolis Colts, according to a report.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the news and says the Redskins still have long-term plans for Robert Griffin III despite benching him in favor of McCoy.
McCoy has been the most successful Redskins quarterback this season. He entered Washington’s game against the Titans after halftime in Week 7 and led his team to victory. He continued his run by leading Washington to a win over the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night the following week.
Griffin has gone 0-3 since returning to action against the Vikings in Week 9. He has only led the Skins to 20 points the past two weeks, both of which were losses.
Redskins head coach Jay Gruden has indicated his lack of faith in Griffin the past few weeks, starting with when he said RG3 needed to worry about himself following a loss to the Bucs. It was clear that Gruden was not an RG3 fan, so this decision should not surprise anyone.
