Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III is struggling against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. One half is in the books and Griffin III is on pace for the worst game of his career.

The Eagles defense is having a field day, sacking Griffin III three times on Sunday and not giving him any time in the pocket. This has resulted in a first half where he’s completed 4-of-7 passing for just 26 yards. The best way for the Redskins quarterback to generate offense is on the ground, where RGIII has run for more yards than he’s passed with 39.

It’s unclear how Washington can turn this game around. The defense is getting shred through the air and it’s impossible for the offense to keep them in a shootout with Griffin III being under this much pressure. There’s another half for the Redskins to turn this around, but its not looking good for their Week 11 game or the team’s playoff hopes.
