Leading up to the game, the Redskins were criticized by many after Mike Shanahan decided to bench RG3 for Kirk Cousins for their game against the Falcons. Shanahan said that he decided to bench Griffin because he did not want him to be hurt again in a lost season. Trailing 27-20 in the 4th quarter late, Cousins led them down the field to score a touchdown, but the Redskins decided to go for 2 for the win instead of the tie. The 2-point attempt failed and the Falcons won 27-26. RG3 was benched for the rest of the season.
