There's a quarterback controversy in Washington, and it has nothing to do with Robert Griffin III.
Colt McCoy replaces Kirk Cousins, immediately throws TD
Cousins has been pulled in the second half.

Fed up with Kirk Cousins's inconsistency and turnover problems, Washington replaced him with Colt McCoy to begin the second half of their game against the Tennessee Titans. McCoy responded by throwing a 70-yard touchdown pass to Pierre Garcon on his first attempt of the game, pushing Washington into the lead.
Cousins had a respectable first-half stat line -- 10-of-16 for 139 yards -- but failed to get his team into the end zone and also tossed an interception. It was his ninth pick of the season and the eighth in his last four starts.
Jay Gruden has said RGIII will be the starter when he returns from his dislocated ankle (he returned to drills this week but his recovery timetable is still up in the air), but a good game from Cousins could make things interesting until then.
